Patient's question:
How to reduce the side effects of hormones?Doctor's answer:
During hormone therapy, try to reduce salt intake as much as possible. Appropriately increase the consumption of potassium-rich foods such as oranges, oranges, bananas, and other fruits. You can also eat low-calorie foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and other fruits, and control total calorie intake. If necessary, add potassium-sparing diuretics. Before deciding to use long-term hormone therapy, the patient's immune status should be comprehensively evaluated, and potential infections such as tuberculosis and hepatitis should be ruled out. Add agents that inhibit gastric acid secretion or protect the gastric mucosa.
