Patient's question:
I've been feeling severe pain in my lower abdomen recently, especially more pronounced before and after my period. At first, I thought it was just menstrual cramps, but after a check-up at the hospital, I found out I have cervical inflammation. I'm wondering how I should adjust my diet after getting this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello,1) Avoid spicy, fried, and warm-natured foods; spicy and fried foods.
2) Avoid seafood that may exacerbate inflammation: Sea fish, crabs, shrimp, clams, surf clams, oysters, abalone, and other aquatic products are considered inflammatory foods and are not conducive to the resolution of inflammation.
3) Avoid sweet, greasy, and rich foods: Overly sweet and greasy foods, such as candies, cream cakes, eight-treasure rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, lard, and fatty pork, lamb fat, and egg yolks, can promote dampness and reduce therapeutic effects, prolonging the course of the illness and making it difficult to treat.
