Patient's question:
I have frequent vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse, and my abdomen also often hurts, with severe bloating. My discharge has also become much more abundant. After undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with uterine fibroids. Later, I had surgery to remove them. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet after the uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a hysterectomy, to accelerate wound healing, it is advisable to avoid stimulating foods to prevent irritation of stomach acid and cause gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g., chili, smoking, oil, coffee). After laparoscopic surgery, residual carbon dioxide gas may remain in the abdomen. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the intake of vegetables and high-fiber fruits after the operation and avoid foods that produce gas.
