How long does it take to recover from breast fibroid surgery?

After surgery, patients should pay attention to quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, balanced nutrition, light diet, eat more food rich in high quality eggs, such as milk, lean meat, eggs, etc., which is beneficial to patients’ recovery; eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish vitamins and enhance physical fitness. It is important to develop good rest habits, avoid staying up late and being too emotionally stressed, pay attention to keeping a happy mood, have regular follow-up examinations to detect changes in the condition, and deal with any recurrence or reoccurrence of breast fibroids in time.
