Patient's question:
My mother has uterine fibroids, but she has been complaining of severe abdominal pain and asking me to make ginger and brown sugar water for her. Doctor, can someone with uterine fibroids drink ginger and brown sugar water?Doctor's answer:
It is not advisable to drink ginger and brown sugar water if you have uterine fibroids, as ginger and brown sugar water have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can increase menstrual bleeding. If uterine fibroids consume ginger and brown sugar water, it may lead to typical symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, as well as anemia. Generally, it is not recommended to drink it, and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
