Patient's question:
I have severe menstrual cramps usually, and I have had to take painkillers several times. I have never been treated for it, and my family has been urging me to do so. Recently, I felt it has gotten worse, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as endometriosis. What kind of help do I need: What preventive measures should we take for endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
What needs attention in daily life is dietary habits. Avoid extremely cold and refrigerated foods before and after menstruation to prevent blood stasis from cold congelation. For those with heavy menstrual flow or internal heat, avoid spicy, boiled, and allergenic foods. Patients with endometriosis can consume more foods that replenish deficiency and invigorate qi, which can help promote blood circulation and alleviate pain. This is particularly suitable for patients with qi and blood deficiency in endometriosis. Maintain a happy mood, and wish you a speedy recovery!
