Experts tell us that uterine fibroids can be multiple or single, and are generally related to our emotional stress, living habits, and eating habits. In addition to cooperating with treatment after suffering from uterine fibroids, maintenance is also very important. So what should patients pay attention to in their diet after hysterectomy?

Because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, they can help patients heal their wounds and increase their body's resistance. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water and avoid eating foods that easily cause bloating, such as onions, cabbage, sweet olives, soy products, etc.

Drink plenty of water. Drink 2000-3000cc of water every day to prevent constipation.

Do not eat foods that easily cause bloating: such as onions, cabbage, olives, soy products, etc.

Eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and do not overeat.

Adhere to a low-fat diet and eat more lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, fruits, etc.

Eat more whole grains such as corn, beans, etc.

Eat nutritious dried fruits often, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc.

The most important thing in diet after hysterectomy is to avoid spicy food, alcohol, frozen food, etc. The diet should be light, and avoid eating irritating foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine. Avoid eating foods that are hot, coagulant, or contain hormones, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly.

If you have anemia, eat more foods high in iron, such as pork liver, black sesame, grapes, seaweed, wolfberry, shiitake mushrooms, etc.

Avoid greasy foods. Eating too much greasy food will lead to fat accumulation, making wounds difficult to heal and weakening resistance to bacteria.

Since patients are usually weak after surgery, they should increase their protein intake in their diet. They can eat more eggs, fish and other protein-rich foods. These foods can help patients recover from wounds and increase their physical strength. Another thing to note is that many people think that all the nutrients are in the soup, so they choose not to eat meat and only drink the soup. This is actually a wrong understanding.
