Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
After surgery for breast fibroadenoma, diet should focus on balanced nutrition to promote wound healing and physical recovery. Patients should consume foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh vegetables (e.g., cabbage, tomatoes) and fruits (e.g., apples, bananas), to enhance immunity and support metabolic function. Opt for light, easily digestible foods like steamed eggs, minced meat, tofu, and porridge, which are gentle on digestion and help maintain gastrointestinal motility. High-protein foods such as lean meat, fish, and beef are also recommended to replenish energy and essential nutrients. It is important to avoid greasy, spicy, raw, or cold foods, as they may irritate the surgical site or cause discomfort. In summary, the postoperative diet for breast fibroadenoma should follow the principles of being light, easily digestible, and nutritionally balanced to facilitate a quicker recovery.
