After surgery for uterine fibroids, patients should focus on nutritional balance and easy digestibility when choosing fruits. It is recommended to consume fruits rich in vitamins and fiber, such as apples, bananas, and oranges. Apples are not only nutritious but also help boost immunity and promote wound healing; bananas are rich in potassium, which helps maintain cardiovascular function and prevent constipation; oranges are high in vitamin C, which enhances resistance. In addition, foods such as red dates and goji berries are also rich in nutrients and can help replenish the body's postoperative nutritional needs, supporting recovery. However, it is important to note that patients should avoid cold-natured or strongly stimulating fruits after surgery, such as watermelon and pineapple, as they may impair wound healing. At the same time, patients should maintain a balanced diet, consuming more vegetables, legumes, and other foods rich in protein and fiber to promote overall recovery.
