Patient's question:
I had uterine fibroids and had already undergone surgical treatment at the hospital. Now I am at home for recovery. My family believes it is very harmful to the body because I got married not long ago and want to have children. Additionally, I am quite petite, so my family has prepared all sorts of food for me, and it's difficult to refuse.Doctor's answer:
1. Maintain a light diet and avoid foods that may trigger reactions, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish.2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu.
3. Refrain from consuming foods with thermogenic, coagulant, or hormone-containing properties, such as longan, jujubes, collagen, and royal jelly.
4. Eat 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.
When patients face the challenges of uterine fibroids, we should promptly adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
