Patient's question:
My mother discovered uterine fibroids a long time ago, but because she hadn't gone through menopause and the tumor hadn't grown, she never had surgery. Recently, her menstrual bleeding has been heavy, and she was told her anemia level is 6.8. She needs to build up her qi before undergoing a hysterectomy. What kind of help would you like: I want to know if this condition is serious and how to effectively and quickly build up my qi?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your mother's anemia is quite severe because she has been experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding, so she should actively replenish her qi. This can be done through medication and food, preferably through intravenous infusion. It is recommended that your mother eat more foods that replenish qi, such as donkey-hide glue, jujubes, and longan flesh, and can also take ferrous sucrose to replenish qi. Rest well, and women who are about to enter menopause should eat more dairy products, seafood, and other calcium-rich foods. Women with uterine fibroids can, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. They should maintain a proper diet in their daily meals and avoid irritating foods.
