Patient's question:
I have a close friend who recently got hospitalized. It's said that she was admitted due to something called Mesenteric Artery Syndrome. Because her husband's work requires him to be away and unable to take care of her, he asked me to help look after her. But I don't know much about it, so I was wondering if there's a comprehensive diet plan for Mesenteric Artery Syndrome? Would it be convenient for me to bring meals?Doctor's answer:
There is no specific diet plan for Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome. It is best to focus on light and easily replenishing foods. In the first three days after surgery, a liquid or semi-liquid diet should be followed, and it is important to eat small, frequent meals. Avoid overeating or consuming spicy, irritating, or easily irritating foods. Seafood, which is considered "fattening" in traditional Chinese medicine, should also be avoided. Additionally, it is crucial to maintain good wound hygiene and perform daily sterilization to prevent disease transmission.
