Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for 2 years without success. Last month, I suddenly felt a small lump on one side of my lower abdomen. My menstrual cycle is also irregular. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with uterine fibroids. I underwent surgery for the uterine fibroids immediately as arranged by the doctor. The doctor said there is still a chance to get pregnant after the surgery, as long as I take good care of my body.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women. It is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid foods that may trigger inflammation, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Instead, consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, and laver, as well as fruits. Avoid spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and baijiu. Also, avoid foods that are heat-inducing, blood-clotting, or hormone-rich, such as longan, jujubes, donkey-hide glue, and royal jelly. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Additionally, during treatment, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. It is essential for patients to digest vitamins.
