Patient's question:
I have been experiencing gynecological problems recently. Down there, it's quite itchy, and my discharge has a slightly unpleasant odor and a slightly yellowish color. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and had a hysteroscopy done. They said I have uterine polyps. I usually eat two cloves of garlic with dinner, but now I'm too scared to eat them. What kind of help do I need: Can I eat garlic after having uterine polyps removed?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial polyps are formed by the prolapse of inflammatory endometrial local blood vessels and fibrosis of connective tissue into the uterine cavity, resulting in polypoid growths. The size and number of polyps vary, most of which are located in the uterine body and are attached to the inner wall of the uterine cavity via thin and long stalks. The main symptoms include prolonged menstruation and continuously increasing menstrual flow. Generally, spicy foods or alcohol should be avoided at this time. Garlic can be eaten, but it should not be consumed in excessive amounts either. It is recommended to drink more water and consume more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains.
