Is it suitable to exercise during the period of fibroids

Many patients with fibroids feel that they have a serious illness. Even if they have undergone surgery to remove the tumor, they still stay in bed every day for fear that getting out of bed and moving around will be detrimental to their condition. In fact, fibroids are not malignant tumors. Patients can do appropriate exercise to restore their physical fitness. Let us now understand whether it is suitable to exercise during the period of fibroids?

Walking and running exercises recommended by traditional Chinese medicine can have certain health benefits. When walking, the heel should land on the ground first, and you should walk one step at a time. The breathing should be combined with the walking speed, and it is not advisable to walk too fast. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that landing on the ground with the heel first can mobilize the kidney meridian, so it has the effect of strengthening the kidney and consolidating the foundation. When running, the breathing should be combined with the running speed, and it should not be too fast.

In addition, fibroid patients should pay attention to the following in their daily lives:

Avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, and get enough rest. You can do appropriate exercise within your body's tolerance level at other times.

Pay attention to a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and less spicy food.

After being diagnosed with fibroids, you should go to the hospital for a checkup once a month. If the fibroids grow slowly or not at all, you can have a checkup every six months. If they grow significantly, you should consider surgical treatment to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs.

If the patient experiences excessive bleeding, he should be alert to the development of anemia symptoms and eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal liver.

Do not take extra estrogen, especially after menopause, to prevent fibroids from growing. For example, drink less soy milk.

Therefore, after the appearance of fibroids, special attention should be paid to the details of daily life. Mild fibroids can be treated with appropriate exercise, which is helpful for the recovery of fibroids. However, if fibroids affect normal life, they should be treated in time to avoid causing harm to themselves. It is recommended that people with fibroids should have regular checkups.
