What to do if you have fibroids

What to do with fibroids? In our daily lives, some fibroid patients often think that their ideas and practices are correct. However, due to the lack of knowledge about fibroids, they miss the best time to treat the disease. Later, they regret not receiving timely treatment. The following editor will take you to learn in detail about what to do with fibroids:

1. What is fibroid?

Fibromas are composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. They are common in adults aged 40-50 years old. The tumor grows slowly. When the tumor develops to a certain extent, it generally stops growing. It is a benign tumor composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. It rarely becomes malignant. The treatment is mainly surgical resection. It is more common in the subcutaneous and grows slowly. It is generally small, with clear edges, smooth surface, hard texture, and can be pushed. If mixed with other components, it becomes fibromyoma, fibroadenoma, fibrolipoma, etc. According to the age and location of onset, it mainly includes juvenile fibromatosis, cervical fibromatosis, infantile fibromatosis, infantile myofibromatosis, lipofibromatosis, etc. The age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old, and it is also not uncommon in children and adolescents. Tumors can occur in large muscles in any part of the body, with the rectus abdominis of the abdominal wall and the aponeurosis of the adjacent muscles being the most common, and they are more common during pregnancy and late pregnancy. Those outside the abdominal wall are more common in men, and they are more common in the scapula, thigh and buttocks.

2. Treatment of fibroids:

Treatment principles: Fibroma should be surgically removed at an early stage, and the surrounding tissues should be appropriately removed. Desmoid tumors should be extensively removed at an early stage. The tumor should be sent for pathological examination after surgery to exclude malignancy, and medication is generally not required.

Treatment methods: 1. Benign fibroids: surgical resection and pathological examination. 2. Fibromatosis: Fibromatosis that grows in areas prone to pressure and friction can be removed and then pathologically examined. 3. Desmoid tumors: local extensive resection, including the tumor and the surrounding 3cm tissue, and skin grafting, otherwise it is very likely to recur.

3. Daily care of fibroid patients:

Patients with fibroids should pay attention to eating in moderation, avoid eating raw and cold food, eat greasy food, avoid spicy food, and quit smoking and drinking. Keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Keep personal hygiene, take a bath and change clothes frequently. Pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and combine work and rest. Prevent excessive tension and fatigue: Excessive tension and fatigue can lead to metabolic disorders, fatigue and decreased resistance to disease, so it is very important to combine work and rest and arrange work and rest reasonably.

Patients with fibromatosis should eat lotus root, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, celery, tofu, lean meat, apples, pears, bananas, oranges, watermelon, melon, persimmon, walnut kernels, cooked peanuts and pine nuts.

Reasonable dietary habits: Maintain a light diet. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Try to diversify your food.

Fibroma patients should avoid the following foods: amaranth, honey, milk, coffee, soda, tea, ice cream, beef, mutton, seafood, peppers, grapes, onions, garlic, mung bean products, and greasy food.

Eat fruit immediately after a meal: Scientists pointed out after research that fruit contains a large amount of monosaccharides, which are easily absorbed by the small intestine. However, if they are blocked in the stomach by food, they will cause bloating and stomach discomfort due to corruption. Therefore, it is best to eat fruit one hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
