Patient's question:
My mother has had uterine fibroids for nearly two years. At first, an ultrasound was performed, and it showed that the fibroids were not very large. The doctor said that surgery was not necessary and prescribed some Western medicine for her to take at home. She was instructed to take the medicine on time and pay attention to her diet. The combination of these measures can effectively suppress the fibroid and help it shrink.Doctor's answer:
For patients with uterine fibroids, a light diet is recommended. Avoid foods that may trigger inflammation such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Avoid spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu. Avoid foods with warming properties, blood-clotting effects, or hormone content, such as longans, jujubes, collagen, and royal jelly. Instead, consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, and seaweed, as well as fruits. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical health and accelerate recovery.
