Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially severe during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Additionally, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Could you please advise on what I should eat to prevent vaginal infections?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when preventing vaginitis, the following matters should be noted:1. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy 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, which contain bioflavonoids, lycopene, polyphenols, and anthocyanins, as well as herbs like turmeric and ginkgo biloba, all of which have very strong antioxidant effects.
