Patient's question:
I am 47 years old, with uterine fibroids. I had them since I was 39, and it has been like this for 78 years. However, this year during my health check-up, I also found an ovarian cyst. I want to ask the doctor what medicine prescription can treat my condition?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. If asymptomatic, no treatment is recommended, and annual check-ups are advised. It is generally believed that uterine fibroids are related to excessive estrogen in the body. Therefore, cultivating healthy eating habits can have a certain inhibitory effect on uterine fibroids.Dietary considerations for uterine fibroids:
1. Maintain a light diet and avoid foods that may trigger inflammation, such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish.
2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu (Chinese liquor).
3. Refrain from consuming foods with heating properties, blood-clotting effects, or hormone components, such as longans, jujubes, collagen, and royal jelly.
