Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel like my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Could you please tell me: What should I avoid eating if I have a vaginal infection?Doctor's answer:
Preventive measures for vaginitis should pay attention to the following points:1. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, to prevent the generation of damp-heat or the consumption of yin blood. Pay attention to dietary nutrition to enhance physical fitness.
2. Eat more foods rich in antioxidants, which are beneficial for boosting the body's immunity and resistance to infection, such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as trace elements like zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, and selenium, all of which contain antioxidants. In addition to many foods such as grapes, bell peppers, bitter melon, tomatoes, mustard greens, and broccoli, as well as herbs like turmeric and ginkgo, which contain bioflavonoids, lycopene, polyphenols, and anthocyanins, all of which have very strong antioxidant effects.
