Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Dietary Guidelines after Fibroadenoma Surgery:
1. Light and easily digestible diet: After surgery, focus on light and easily digestible foods. Increase intake of fresh vegetables and fruits such as apples and lettuce to supplement vitamins and dietary fiber.
2. Moderate protein intake: Choose high-quality protein sources such as milk, fish, and legumes to promote wound healing and physical recovery.
3. Avoid irritating foods: Avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and garlic, as well as greasy foods like grilled items and fatty meats, which may irritate the surgical site and impair recovery.
4. Regulate estrogen intake: Since fibroadenomas are related to estrogen levels, it is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of foods or medications containing estrogen after surgery.
5. Eat small, frequent meals: Digestive function may be weakened after surgery. It is recommended to eat smaller meals more frequently to avoid overeating and reduce gastrointestinal burden.
