Patient's question:
My friend has recently been feeling that her menstruation isn't very normal, and her leukorrhea is also abnormal. She has never been like this before; her menstruation was always very regular. She had always thought it was an irregular menstrual cycle and kept taking medicine to regulate it, but it was still the same. So, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that it was a uterine fibroid. She immediately had surgery. What are the postoperative precautions for uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids should consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, nori, and fruits. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu. Avoid foods with heating properties, blood-clotting effects, or hormone components, such as longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly. Patients with uterine fibroids should follow a light diet and avoid foods that trigger exacerbation, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish.When facing the harm of uterine fibroids, patients should actively undergo regular examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If the uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
