What are the dietary taboos for patients with ovarian tumors?

When ovarian tumors occur, many women actively seek treatment, mainly because they are afraid of this disease. So, what should ovarian tumor patients pay attention to in their diet? Here are some dietary precautions for ovarian tumor patients.

Ovarian tumors can occur at any age, but are more common in women of childbearing age. They are common gynecological tumors, accounting for 32% of female genital tumors. Ovarian tumors can have various properties and forms, single or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Benign ovarian tumors generally have a good prognosis, but there is a possibility of malignant transformation. Benign ovarian tumors develop slowly. In the early stages, the tumors are small and mostly asymptomatic. They cannot be felt in the abdomen and are often discovered accidentally during gynecological examinations. Medium-sized tumors often cause abdominal distension and discomfort. Patients should pay attention to a light diet, which also needs to be rich in sufficient nutrition, correct partiality and incorrect eating habits, and eat more foods with anti-tumor effects.
