Patient's question:
My aunt has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. She had experienced abnormal menstruation for a period of time, with excessive menstrual flow that was always intermittent and incomplete. She had become pale and severely anemic. Now she is preparing for surgery to treat it. The doctor said it was caused by my aunt's long-term depression. Does having a bad mood easily lead to uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids do not need to restrict their diet during surgery. Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors, and for hormone-containing foods such as soy products, beauty products, and health supplements, it is advisable to consume them in moderation. The human body needs to obtain nutrients from various different foods. Additionally, the most important thing for patients with uterine fibroids is to always maintain a good mood, which can help slow the growth of fibroids. As more and more studies have shown, recurrent uterine fibroids are strongly associated with depressive emotions. In addition to medication for treating uterine fibroids, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis, so they can achieve good treatment outcomes.
