Uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease in women, which have a lot of impact on women's normal life. How to take care of yourself in life?

How to treat uterine fibroids

1. Maintain a good mental state, maintain an optimistic attitude, and ensure that you feel comfortable and calm.

2. Since the formation of uterine fibroids is closely related to personal hygiene habits, women must clean their vulva correctly to prevent infection.

3. Use hormone drugs rationally and under the guidance of a doctor.

4. You must drink more boiled water every day. Drinking more water can effectively promote metabolism. At the same time, the diet should be light and not too greasy. Fresh vegetables and fruits should not be discarded to ensure adequate moisture and nutrition in the body.

Dietary principles for uterine fibroids

1. Avoid contact with things with high hormone content

In daily life, whether it is diet or environment, we must avoid contact with things with high hormone content. When the human body absorbs hormones, it is very easy to cause uterine fibroids to proliferate or expand.

In addition, once absorbed, because the structure of the hormone is similar to that of estrogen, it easily combines with estrogen to produce a strong reaction, stimulating the growth of uterine fibroids. Therefore, you should avoid eating fish eggs, shrimp eggs, crab roe and other foods in your life, and stay away from canned foods, preservatives, plastic products, pesticides, detergents, etc.

2. Supplement vitamin D

Vitamin D can be very effective in controlling the growth of uterine fibroids and can play an auxiliary role in shrinking uterine fibroids. For women, vitamin D is a very good supplement, natural and has no side effects.

It can also reduce the probability of surgical treatment. In daily life, women can eat more foods with high vitamin D content such as milk, dairy products, and mushrooms. In addition, female friends can also supplement their vitamin D content by spending 20 to 30 minutes in the sun.

3. Choose foods that protect your liver

For women, the liver is the place where estrogen is metabolized, so if your liver is damaged, it is very likely to cause uterine fibroid hyperplasia. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends supplement more nutrients rich in protein, vitamin B and other liver-protecting nutrients, which can reduce the metabolic burden on the liver without preventing the excretion of estrogen.

4. Drink soy milk in moderation

The statement that patients with uterine fibroids should not drink soy milk has not been confirmed. The nutritional value of soybeans is very high and can provide many nutrients to the human body. The "soy isoflavones" in soybeans are called phytoestrogens because they have a similar structure to estrogen, which can supplement the body's needs and exert hormonal effects.
