Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if there are any foods that uterine fibroids are sensitive to?Doctor's answer:
For the time being, it is not likely to interfere with pregnancy, so it is recommended to have a follow-up check-up every year. Additionally, it is generally believed that uterine fibroids are related to excessive estrogen in the body. Therefore, cultivating good dietary habits can have a certain inhibitory effect on uterine fibroids.Additional dietary precautions for uterine fibroids:
1. Maintain a light diet and avoid foods that may exacerbate conditions, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish.
2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu (strong alcohol).
3. Avoid foods that are hot in nature, promote blood coagulation, or contain hormone components, such as longan, jujubes, collagen, and royal jelly.
4. Consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, seaweed, and kelp, as well as fruits. Women should eat more seaweed-based foods.
