Ovarian cyst patients can eat shrimp. Ovarian cysts are a common type of tumor primarily occurring in women's ovaries. They are associated with inflammatory exudation, endocrine disorders, abnormal ovulation, and genetic mutations in ovarian tissue cells. Shrimp is rich in various nutrients that can effectively enhance the body's immunity and thus help prevent premature ovarian failure. Selenium, a powerful antioxidant found in shrimp, helps eliminate free radicals from the body and may reduce the risk of developing ovarian cysts.
