Introduction
Patients with gynecological mycoplasma infections should generally avoid spicy, irritating, high-fat, and cold-natured foods. In addition to these common foods, seafood such as sea fish and crabs should also be avoided. Under a doctor's guidance, patients can take medications such as azithromycin dispersible tablets, cefixime granules, and levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules for treatment. Once symptoms occur, prompt consultation at a hospital gynecology department is recommended.

Generally, patients with gynecological mycoplasma infection should avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, high-fat foods, and cold-natured foods. Timely treatment is essential once the infection occurs. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Spicy and Irritating Foods

Since the clinical symptoms of mycoplasma infection vary depending on the site of infection, it can commonly trigger gynecological conditions such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Under continuous inflammatory stimulation, patients may experience increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, and other symptoms. At this time, dietary care is particularly important. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and mustard, to prevent worsening of discomfort.

2. High-Fat Foods

High-fat foods include various items such as fatty meats, fried chicken, and deep-fried dough sticks (youtiao). Consuming these increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, making them difficult to digest and absorb. They may also trigger adverse reactions such as abdominal pain and bloating, which negatively affect recovery.

3. Cold-Natured Foods

Cold-natured foods include ice cream and chilled watermelon. These can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, impair the absorption and utilization of nutrients, and potentially prolong the duration of illness.

In addition to the above-mentioned foods, seafoods such as sea fish and crabs should also be avoided. Patients should seek timely treatment at a hospital's gynecology department under a doctor’s guidance, using medications such as azithromycin dispersible tablets, cefixime granules, or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules. Prompt medical attention helps prevent further adverse effects or harm to the body.
