Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids in 2005 and have undergone three tumor removal surgeries. Due to the prolonged period, they have expanded into multiple fibroids and grown very large, with symptoms of bladder compression, so I chose to have a hysterectomy. What dietary precautions should be taken for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are often associated with various factors such as intergenerational inheritance, diet, medication, and emotions. Some may remain asymptomatic throughout life, while others exhibit more pronounced symptoms. If it is a case of recurrent uterine fibroids, the relationship with intergenerational inheritance is significant. Sea cucumber should not be consumed excessively; one serving per day is sufficient, but long-term use is also not recommended. Attention should be paid to daily care, adequate rest, and a diet that avoids greasy and spicy foods. Maintaining a positive mood is also important. In addition to receiving proper medical treatment for uterine fibroids, patients need to prioritize care aspects such as a light diet and avoiding spicy, irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
