Patient's question:
These past few months, my menstrual flow has been very heavy. Previously, it would only last for 4 or 5 days, but now it takes about 8 or 9 days to clean up. The blood color is a bit whitish and looks thick. Every time I have my period, my lower back aches severely. A few days ago, after my period ended, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids causing this.Doctor's answer:
The most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. It often shows no symptoms, but in very rare cases, it may manifest as vaginal bleeding, abdominal palpable masses, and pressure symptoms, among others. A proper diet is very important. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as lean meat, fish, etc., and also consume plenty of vegetables and fruits. Moderately consume foods containing estrogen, such as sweet potatoes, Chinese yam, royal jelly, etc. In addition to timely treatment for uterine fibroids, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce the patient's immunity and their ability to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay great attention to their dietary care, focus on balanced nutrition, and ensure that the body properly digests and absorbs nutrients.
