Patient's question:
I used to have severe stomach pain during my menstrual period, and besides a large amount of blood clots in the menstrual flow, I often experienced delayed periods. Later, one time the pain was particularly intense, I went to see a doctor. After a thorough examination, the doctor said I had uterine fibroids. Later, I heard from a friend that uterine fibroids can be treated by boiling eggs with poria and red beans. Is that okay?Doctor's answer:
This situation can be managed with some dietary adjustments. If you have uterine fibroids, there is no need to panic. First and foremost, it's important to understand that the vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is extremely small. The likelihood of uterine fibroids progressing further is also very low, generally less than 1%. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not entirely clear, but they are related to hormone levels. Many uterine fibroids do not cause obvious symptoms, and small fibroids often do not require treatment. Of course, consuming traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and reduces stagnation can be somewhat helpful.Additionally, during the treatment period for uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. It is essential to ensure adequate intake of digestive vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
