What can I eat for cervical cancer?

Early stage cervical cancer has less impact on the function of digestive tract, so the diet is mainly to enhance the patient’s ability to resist disease and improve the immune function, and to supplement nutrition appropriately. The diet of cervical cancer can be divided into two stages before and after treatment. First, arrange the diet according to specific symptoms. If there is vaginal bleeding, you can eat foods that can replenish blood, stop bleeding and fight against cancer, such as red dates, barley, hawthorn, black fungus and umeboshi. If there is excessive leucorrhea like watery, diet should be nourishing, and foods such as turtle, pigeon egg and chicken can be taken appropriately. Second, after surgery, you should eat more food to nourish the qi and blood, such as yam, astragalus, cinnamon, mulberry, wolfberry, angelica, snapper, sesame, aconite, etc., to achieve the effect of tonicity. Thirdly, when receiving radiotherapy, the diet is based on nourishing blood and nourishing yin, such as beef, pig liver, acacia, fungus, spinach and celery. If radioactive cystitis and proctitis occur due to radiotherapy, pay attention to clearing heat and dampness, nourishing and detoxifying Yin, and eat more watermelon, barley, red beans, water chestnuts, lotus root, etc. Fourth, when receiving chemotherapy, the diet should be mainly for strengthening the spleen and nourishing the kidneys, and yam, barley, astragalus, lily of the valley, fungus, lotus root, etc. can be consumed. If patients have gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, the diet should strengthen the spleen and stomach, and cane juice, ginger juice, umeboshi, kumquat, etc. can be taken. Fifthly, patients with advanced cervical cancer should choose foods with high protein and high calories, such as milk, eggs, beef, snapper, pig liver, cod liver oil, etc.
