What are the dietary precautions for patients with chocolate cysts?

Women who have ovarian chocolate cysts are very worried. Patients with chocolate cysts should pay attention to the fact that the cause of chocolate cysts is inseparable from people's living habits. People should pay attention to the prevention of chocolate cysts in their daily lives, that is, what they should pay attention to in their daily diet. Let's take a look at the experts' introduction.

It should be pointed out that ovarian chocolate cysts are caused by endometriosis, and their symptoms manifest as lumps, not tumors. Normal endometrium grows in the uterine cavity. It is affected by estrogen and sheds once a month, which is how menstruation is formed. However, if the endometrial fragments shed during menstruation flow back through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity with menstrual blood, they will be implanted on the surface of the ovaries or other parts of the pelvic cavity, forming ectopic cysts. This ectopic endometrium is also affected by sex hormones, and it sheds and bleeds repeatedly with the menstrual cycle. If the lesion occurs on the ovaries, there will be local bleeding during each menstrual period, which will enlarge the ovaries and form cysts containing old blood. This old blood is brown and sticky like a paste, like chocolate, so it is also called "chocolate cyst".

What dietary issues should patients with ovarian chocolate cysts pay attention to?

Patients should develop good eating habits, reasonably match nutrition, not be partial to partiality, not be picky about food, and eat a light diet with sufficient nutrients. Stimulants and seafood should not be eaten often. You should also learn to relax your body and mind, and your spirit should not be in a state of tension for a long time, and you should get enough sleep. You should also avoid fatty, fried, moldy, and pickled foods. Ovarian chocolate cysts should avoid warm blood-moving foods such as mutton, dog meat, leeks, and peppers. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, and cinnamon. If the patient is infected, the diet of ovarian chocolate cysts should eat eels, clams, water snakes, needle fish, carp, unicorn, celery, sesame, buckwheat, rapeseed, toon, red beans, and mung beans. For abdominal pain and bloating, it is advisable to eat pork kidneys, bayberries, hawthorns, tangerine cakes, walnuts, and chestnuts. The diet for ovarian chocolate cysts should include more foods with anti-tumor effects: horseshoe crab, seahorse, turtle, dragon ball tea, hawthorn. If the patient has bleeding ovarian chocolate cysts, the diet for mutton blood, snail, mussels, squid, shepherd's purse, lotus root, mushroom, amaranth, stone ear, ginkgo nuts, and persimmons should be included.

The above is that patients with ovarian chocolate cysts should pay attention to all details in life and treat chocolate cysts in time, so as to get rid of the damage of chocolate cysts as early as possible and recover as soon as possible.
