Patient's question:
I often have vaginal bleeding and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, where they said I have uterine fibroids. I have already undergone surgery for uterine fibroids at the hospital. Previously, there was a lot of bleeding, and I felt very weak. Now that I've had surgery, how should I replenish my qi?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can lead to vaginal bleeding or prolonged menstruation. Long-term excessive vaginal bleeding may cause women to experience anemia or hypotension again. This can then lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or physical weakness. After uterine fibroid surgery, the body may also feel weak, so it is recommended to consume foods that aid in digestion and replenish qi and blood after a period of recovery. In ingredients, foods that replenish qi and blood include red dates, goji berries, donkey-hide gelatin, longan, poria, astragalus, Eucommia ulmoides, and gastrodia elata, among others.
