Patient's question:
I've been divorced for several years and haven't been able to get pregnant. I usually have irregular periods, and the flow isn't very heavy, but I have severe abdominal pain accompanied by lower back pain and some vaginal discharge with a strong odor. I've tried various methods without any relief, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was endometriosis.What kind of help I need: What should I avoid eating with endometriosis?
Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis has two Western medical treatment methods: surgery and medication.1. Medication: The primary treatment involves oral hormones, known as pseudopregnancy and pseudomenopause therapy, which artificially induce menstruation cessation and menopause.
2. Surgery: Surgical treatment includes conservative treatment, semi-radical treatment, and radical treatment. Conservative treatment preserves fertility by only removing the lesions and nodules of endometriosis, restoring its normal anatomical and physiological functions to enable patients to conceive.
Patients with endometriosis should avoid excessively fatty meat products. They should also refrain from foods that are considered cold in nature, such as snails, clams, crabs, and soft-shell turtles. All cold and cooling foods should be avoided.
