What should I eat after having uterine fibroid surgery? Can adenomyosis be treated with surgery?

In recent years, uterine fibroids and adenomyosis have become common gynecological diseases for many women. Many patients undergo surgical treatment after diagnosis, but how to adjust their diet after surgery has become a problem they are concerned about. This article will discuss how to eat properly after uterine fibroid surgery and analyze whether adenomyosis can be treated with surgery.

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor that usually occurs in women of childbearing age. For patients who have undergone surgery for uterine fibroids, a reasonable diet is the key to postoperative recovery. First of all, patients need to choose foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as fish, lean meat, beans, poultry and a variety of vegetables and fruits. These foods can provide the nutrients needed by the body and help with cell repair and metabolism. Secondly, the diet needs to be light, and fried, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided to avoid irritation to the surgical site and affect postoperative recovery. At the same time, patients also need to fully ensure water intake to promote detoxification and recovery of the body after surgery.

Regarding the question of whether adenomyosis can be treated with surgery, you need to consult a doctor's opinion. Adenomyosis is a benign disease characterized by endometriosis, and common symptoms include irregular menstruation and infertility. Although adenomyosis does not pose a direct threat to life, surgery may be a necessary option when some serious symptoms occur. Surgery can alleviate the condition and relieve symptoms by removing the lesions and improving the excretion function of the uterine glands. However, whether to perform surgery still requires the doctor to judge and decide based on the patient's specific situation.

After uterine fibroid surgery, a reasonable diet can also effectively promote postoperative recovery. First, patients can appropriately increase protein-rich foods, such as tofu, eggs, milk, etc., to help wound healing and repair. Secondly, try to choose foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, etc., to enhance the body's immunity and resistance. In addition, irritating foods, especially spicy and fried foods, should be avoided to avoid affecting the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, maintaining good eating habits, eating on time, and increasing exercise appropriately will help promote metabolism and recovery.

In short, after surgery for uterine fibroids, a reasonable diet is an important part of postoperative recovery. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and choose the right food according to their own conditions. In addition, whether adenomyosis requires surgery should also refer to the doctor's opinion, because surgery is not suitable for all patients. The most important thing is to maintain good living habits and a positive attitude to better promote recovery and health.
