Patient's question:
Currently, there are three uterine fibroids, with the largest being 2.8 cm. My period always comes 4 days earlier each month, and it lasts for about 4-5 days. I don’t know the reason. About past treatment and its effectiveness: A few days ago, I had an ultrasound and TCT done at the hospital, which showed three uterine fibroids, and they are benign. I haven’t experienced any symptoms. The doctor recommended another check-up in a year. I want to try dietary therapy, but I don’t know how to do it. Thank you!What kind of help I’m looking for: How to use dietary therapy to treat uterine fibroids and its effectiveness:
Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, though a few may present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal palpable masses, and symptom control.Recommendations: Patients with uterine fibroids should consume nutrient-rich dry fruits such as peanuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. Increase intake of whole grains like corn and legumes. Maintain a low-fat diet, including lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, and fruits. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and frozen items.
Additionally, during treatment, dietary management and care are crucial. Patients should ensure adequate vitamin intake to prevent digestive issues and follow a light diet to avoid unnecessary complications. It is hoped that the above advice will be helpful to you. Thank you.
