What should I pay attention to in my diet for adenomyosis?

Patients with adenomyosis must pay attention to the doctor's treatment advice. At the same time, they should not blindly avoid hot foods in their daily diet, and should not eat foods containing hormones. They should also be careful to avoid spicy and irritating foods.

1. Do not eat hot food

Some hot foods are good for women to replenish blood, but they are not suitable for women with adenomyosis (for example: longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin). These foods have the effect of activating blood circulation. Taking them during menstruation will increase the amount of menstrual blood, making women more uncomfortable.

2. Do not eat foods containing hormones

Examinations have found that women with adenomyosis have significantly higher levels of estrogen. Eating foods containing hormones will increase the levels further, which is not conducive to recovery from the disease (for example, royal jelly).

3. Do not eat spicy food

Many women usually have a strong taste in their food, and they especially like to add chili peppers and peppercorns when cooking to pursue the taste. This kind of spicy and irritating food must be prohibited for patients with adenomyosis. If consumed frequently, it will make adenomyosis more serious. In addition to these, you should also eat less raw onions and raw garlic.

4. Avoid high-fat diet

Studies have shown that high-fat foods help promote the growth of estrogen, which in turn increases stimulation to the uterus and causes uterine diseases. This is why most people with adenomyosis are obese.

5. The diet should be light , and eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, kelp, seaweed, fruits, etc.
