Patient's question:
I have a good best friend. She hasn't had good luck this year, and her health keeps having problems. Recently, she was carefully examined and found to have uterine fibroids. I'm not much older than her, and I'm a bit worried about myself too. I want to ask if there are any methods to prevent uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
1. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness in the vaginal area at all times can not only prevent various gynecological diseases but also help prevent uterine fibroids.2. Consume more iron-rich foods and replenish qi. Women should eat more iron-rich foods like animal liver or jujubes during their period, which greatly helps in replenishing qi, especially for those with irregular menstruation or anemia, who should pay more attention to qi replenishment.
3. Rest during your period. Women should get more rest during their period and avoid overexertion, as this may weaken the body's resistance.
4. Pay attention to your diet and avoid taking medication improperly. Inappropriate oral medication may affect estrogen levels in the body, leading to uterine fibroids.
