Patient's question:
Last month, I found out I have uterine fibroids. Since the issue wasn't serious and the fibroids were small, I didn't opt for surgical treatment. Instead, I took some oral medication. Recently, I've noticed my complexion isn't looking good, and I'd like to try Dong E Aojiao to nourish myself. But is it okay to eat Dong E Aojiao with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If you have uterine fibroids or relatively large fibroids, it is not recommended to eat this, as it may stimulate the fibroids and cause discomfort. Therefore, you should pay more attention to rest and safety, and then check whether the amount of menstrual bleeding is normal. Avoid spicy foods and pay attention to preventing anemia and other issues. If you have heavy bleeding during your period, you may still consider minimally invasive surgery for regulation. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to regular treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and being reminded to have regular follow-up examinations!
