Patient's question:
I've noticed the symptom of increased leukorrhea for two or three months, but I never took it seriously until a few days ago when I wiped my hands with toilet paper while using the restroom and found some blood streaks. That's when I went for a gynecological examination. The doctor said there was a small polyp on the cervix, about 1 cm in size.What should patients with cervical polyps pay attention to in their diet?
Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition is caused by cervical polyps resulting from cervical inflammation, along with the associated symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery is required for treatment to allow for self-healing. Daily attention to personal hygiene, frequent changes of underwear, and avoidance of spicy foods are necessary.1. Maintain a light diet and avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish.
2. Avoid spicy foods and beverages like chili peppers, raw garlic, and baijiu (strong liquor).
3. Refrain from consuming foods that are hot in nature, promote blood clotting, or contain hormone components, such as longan, jujubes, arali radicle, and royal jelly.
