Patient's question:
After giving birth, I developed uterine fibroids. At first, they weren't very serious, and I just took medication for treatment. But later, when they worsened, I had surgery. I've been in the hospital for the past few days. The hospital provides nutritional meals, so I didn't need to cook myself, but now that I've gone home, I want to know what I shouldn't eat. What are the dietary restrictions after uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumors. If the fibroids are smaller than 5 cm or cause symptoms such as increased bleeding and abdominal pain, surgery is recommended. The diet after surgery mainly involves avoiding overly greasy foods, reducing the intake of fat and high-cholesterol foods, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. This is because the gastrointestinal function is relatively weak after surgery. Additionally, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, patients should not only receive immediate treatment but also take other measures.
