After ovarian cyst surgery, patients should consume warm soups, vegetables, and similar foods. Hard or difficult-to-digest foods should be avoided. The gastrointestinal tract needs time to gradually recover after surgery, so it's best to avoid foods that are hard to digest. Spicy and irritating foods should also be avoided. After ovarian cyst surgery, it is best not to eat blood-activating foods or drink alcohol, as these can accelerate blood circulation and lead to bleeding at the surgical wound site or within the pelvic cavity. It is advisable to eat more milk, spinach, Chinese yam, and similar foods.
