What can I eat before and after uterine fibroid surgery? Dietary care methods before and after uterine fibroid surgery

If a woman's uterine fibroids grow too large, they need to be surgically removed. Patients must pay attention to their diet before and after the operation to avoid some improper diet that may affect the results of the operation. The following is an introduction to what patients with uterine fibroids should eat before and after the operation.

1. Diet after uterine fibroid surgery: What should you eat?

For the elderly and weak, they should eat more liquid and semi-liquid food to promote digestion, such as lotus powder, orange juice, etc., or choose lean meat or fresh fish soup, which can not only ensure nutrition but also enhance appetite, and the patient will recover quickly. If the patient's nutritional status is poor and the general diet cannot meet the nutritional needs, some high-energy comprehensive nutritional preparations can be taken orally to improve malnutrition. The diet should not be too early. Generally, after the anus is exhausted, a small amount of water can be started. If there is no discomfort, liquid food such as rice soup, vegetable soup, etc. can be eaten, and gradually transition to soft food and ordinary food. Like women with uterine fibroids in general, they should eat some light food during treatment and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Uterine fibroids can not eat spicy food

Patients with uterine fibroids cannot eat spicy food, wine and other irritating foods. Spicy food will stimulate the endocrine system and may cause endocrine disharmony. Alcohol also has a relatively large stimulation to the uterus. Drinking alcohol can cause blood and gas to have poor emotional control on patients with uterine fibroids.

3. What foods are not easy to eat for uterine fibroids?

Patients with uterine fibroids should not eat mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish and other foods that are prone to uterine fibroids. For patients with uterine fibroids, meat contains more fat, and obese women are more likely to suffer from uterine fibroids. In addition, patients with uterine fibroids should also avoid eating seafood, which contains more hormones and may lead to the serious development of uterine fibroids.

4. What foods that can’t be eaten to replenish blood and qi for uterine fibroids

Patients with uterine fibroids should not eat foods that replenish blood and qi, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly, etc. Because uterine fibroids rely on estrogen to develop, if the estrogen content in the body is too high, it will promote the growth of fibroids, so these foods should be avoided.

The above is the diet that patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to before and after surgery. Patients with uterine fibroids must eat more nutritious foods to increase the body's resistance, and avoid eating raw and cold foods to avoid affecting the incision and causing inflammation.
