Dietary considerations for adenomyoma

Patients with adenomyoma should not only receive treatment from doctors, but also pay attention to their diet in life. Therefore, we recommend that everyone should pay attention to the dietary precautions for adenomyoma in life. Patients with adenomyoma of the uterus should generally pay attention to a light diet, avoid eating irritating and irritating foods, and also avoid eating blood-enriching foods such as longan and red dates.

Adenomyosis will get worse with every menstrual period, so the sooner it is discovered, the better the outcome will be. The uterus is an integral part of the female pelvic floor. To remove the uterus, a hole must be dug in the pelvic floor and the 10 ligaments that secure the uterus must be cut before the uterus can be removed. The integrity of the pelvic floor is destroyed, the support strength of the pelvic floor decreases, and the internal organs sag, seriously affecting the quality of life, especially sexual life.

Dietary considerations for patients with uterine fibroids

1. The diet should be light and avoid eating irritating foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish.

2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine.

3. Prohibited foods: longan, placenta, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly (Note: honey is sweet, mild, neither warm nor dry, and is not included in this list) and other foods that are hot, coagulant, and contain hormones.

4. Eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, seaweed, fruits, etc.

In addition to the diet and lifestyle of adenomyoma, you need to pay attention to:

(1) Avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation.

(2) Eat more vegetables and fruits and less spicy food.

(3) Keep the vulva clean and dry, and wear loose underwear. If there is too much vaginal discharge, you should remember to flush the vulva at any time.

(4) After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you should go to the hospital for a check-up once a month. If the fibroids grow slowly or not at all, you can have a follow-up check every six months. If they grow significantly, surgical treatment should be considered to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs.

(5) Avoid getting pregnant again. Women with uterine fibroids have poor uterine recovery after an abortion, which often causes prolonged bleeding or chronic genital inflammation.

(6) If your menstrual flow is heavy, you should eat more iron-rich foods to prevent iron deficiency anemia.

(7) Do not take extra estrogen, especially after menopause, to prevent the growth of uterine fibroids.

(8) For those who need to preserve fertility but must undergo surgical treatment, myomectomy can be used.
