Patient's question:
Hello, I have benign uterine fibroids. I always have some discharge, and if I leave it, it will bruise between my legs. Can I eat seafood? Besides, with my long-term job of hiking all day, how necessary is it to rest during the period of discharge? Also, what kind of discharge is normal with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that can lead to an increase in secretions, typically white or yellow in color. It is recommended to use medication promptly to treat the fibroids and to regularly monitor their size. During treatment, avoid spicy foods and seafood, as they are considered "pathogenic" foods and may accelerate the growth of uterine fibroids. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care. For example, maintain hygiene during treatment and keep the private area clean. Finally, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
