Patient's question:
During the autumn season, I was quite exhausted. I have experienced two menstrual cycles in the past month. Now, my menstrual period lasts for a very long time, and both the beginning and the end of the cycle have a lighter flow. I consulted a doctor and had an ultrasound done. The doctor said it's a problem with uterine fibroids, and the size of the tumor is relatively small. There are no other issues. How should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Don't worry, uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent tumors. Your fibroid is small in size, so it is recommended to be carefully monitored. Follow-up check-ups every 3-6 months are advised. Dietary considerations include: avoiding foods that are hot in nature, promote blood clotting, or contain hormone components, such as longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly. Also, limit spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu. Additionally, during the treatment period for uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
