Patient's question:
Hello, can I drink brown sugar ginger tea if I have uterine fibroids? I've been having my period for a few days and want to drink some ginger tea, but I'm not sure if it's okay!Doctor's answer:
It is best not to drink brown sugar ginger tea if you have uterine fibroids. Brown sugar ginger tea is a medicinal drink that promotes blood flow and helps remove blood clots, which can easily lead to excessive menstrual bleeding. It has negative effects on the complete recovery of uterine fibroids. During menstruation with uterine fibroids, it is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and sanitary pads frequently, and avoid spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods. Treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and surgery may be necessary in severe cases.
