Patient's question:
My mother-in-law has been feeling unwell recently and has noticed some abnormal skin peeling in her vagina. She also has some confusion about substances leaking out. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it turned out she had uterine fibroids. She doesn't want to have surgery, and we really want to know what dietary precautions she should take for this condition.Doctor's answer:
The diet for uterine fibroids should be light and simple, including lean meat, chicken, quail eggs, softshell turtle, white fish, celery, spinach, winter melon, mushrooms, kelp, fruits, etc. Avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as mutton, eel, salted fish, as well as spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, raw onions, and baijiu. Do not consume foods with heating properties, blood clotting effects, or hormone components, such as longans, jujubes, and royal jelly. Uterine fibroids are a condition that is not easy to recover from. Patients should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating the condition and increase their chances of recovery.
