Patients with uterine fibroids should eat a nutritious and light diet after surgery

Surgery is a common method for treating uterine fibroids. Patients need to pay attention to reasonable diet adjustments after surgery.

1. Postoperative eating time

Patients with uterine fibroids should not eat too early after surgery. Generally, they should start with drinking a small amount of water after the anus is discharged. If the patient has no discomfort, liquid food can be gradually added, such as rice soup, vegetable soup, bone soup, etc., and then soft food and ordinary food can be given. Pay attention to gradual progress and observe the patient's reaction after eating at any time. If there is any discomfort, communicate with the doctor immediately to resolve it.

In addition, if the patient is older and weaker, the time for him to intake liquid and semi-liquid food can be appropriately extended, such as lotus root powder, orange juice, lean meat soup, fresh fish soup, etc., which is beneficial to the patient's digestion, but also can ensure nutrition, enhance appetite, and help the patient recover as soon as possible.

2. Nutritionally balanced and easy to digest

Patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to a nutritious diet after surgery, such as a reasonable combination of milk, eggs, lean pork, fish, tofu, etc. in the three meals, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, such as carrots, spinach, cabbage, leeks, day lily, apples, oranges, etc.

3. Eat a light diet

After surgery, patients with uterine fibroids should follow the principle of a light diet and avoid all kinds of irritating foods. Common irritating foods include mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish, etc.; common irritating foods include chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, etc., and alcohol is prohibited.
