Patient's question:
A while ago, I kept experiencing recurring gynecological inflammation, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me I have ovarian cysts, and I'm currently taking medication for treatment. I'd like to consult about what I can eat in daily life with ovarian cysts, and what precautions I should take.Doctor's answer:
Diet should be light and avoid foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish.Suitable foods include milk, spinach, Chinese yam, cabbage, rapeseed, mushrooms, lean meat, eggs, crucian carp, apples, pear, jujubes, peanuts, and black rice.
Regular follow-up ultrasound examinations should be conducted to check if the cysts are shrinking. If there is a significant reduction, surgical removal is still recommended to prevent sudden abdominal pain. Maintain a good lifestyle, stay cheerful, and small cysts may also disappear on their own. Avoid overexertion and strenuous activities.
During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended to focus on maintaining good vaginal hygiene and follow a light diet.
