Patient's question:
After taking the Guizhi Flawless Capsule, I went to the fifth hospital on Jiefang Road for a thorough check-up with an ultrasound. The fibroid had indeed shrunk. The doctor said that long-term medication could harm the stomach and that since the fibroid had shrunk, there was no need to worry. It would naturally shrink after menopause. What kind of assistance do you need? Then, do I need to pay attention to anything in terms of diet? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
How whether uterine fibroids need treatment is determined by factors such as age, the presence or absence of symptoms, the location of the fibroids, their size, growth rate, number, the extent to which they cause uterine deformation, how to preserve fertility, and the patient's wishes. Your fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, and do not interfere with your health. In this case, treatment may not be necessary, but regular follow-up and careful observation are required to monitor any changes.Regarding the dietary aspects of uterine fibroids, it is advisable to follow a light diet and avoid excessive consumption of foods that may exacerbate symptoms, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, salted fish, and black fish. Spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu (strong alcohol) should also be avoided. Foods with warming properties, blood-clotting effects, or hormonal components, such as longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly, are best avoided as well. Lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, softshell turtle, cabbage, and Chinese cabbage are recommended for consumption.
