2.1. Foods to eat Fresh fruits, especially those containing vitamin C such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, guava... Should eat orange and brightly colored fruits because they belong to the beta - carotene family when available. The digestive system will turn into vitamin A. Vitamin A helps promote the growth of healthy tissues, proper tissue repair, shrink diseased tissues. This is an essential vitamin for the body, especially good for people who have just had a partial hysterectomy. Vegetables with dark green leaves such as dandelion, broccoli, pot roast, spinach, and marine plants such as seaweed, spinach, etc. contain high nutritional content and prevent fibroids. bow. Foods containing balanced estrogen, rich in bioflavonoids that are good for uterine fibroids such as tofu, black beans, lentils. Soybean alone is very good for the heart, along with plant proteins that are good for patients who have had partial uterine fibroid removal surgery. However, do not use too much. White meat, poultry, fish... Crinum latifolium leaves are a medicine capable of inhibiting tumors such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, breast tumors... However, this is a complementary medicine, not a radical solution, when used, it is also necessary to consult a specialist doctor. 2.2. Foods to avoid Dark red meat such as beef, Kobe beef, lamb because it can increase estrogen levels and stimulate fibroid growth. Many studies show that red meat has the ability to stimulate the growth of uterine fibroids. In patients with uterine fibroids, excessive intake of meat-based foods can increase abdominal pain, uterine bleeding and other symptoms of the disease. Caffeinated foods and beverages, soft drinks, chocolate, tea, tobacco and coffee. If the patient has too much bleeding, be wary of anemia symptoms, should add more iron-rich foods such as water spinach, cockles.

3. Robotic laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids: Safe, reduces complications, reduces pain

Partial fibroid removal surgery is a method performed when there are symptoms such as menorrhagia, prolonged bleeding, pain, frequent urination, infertility, and no results of medical treatment. There are many surgical methods for partial fibroid removal: open surgery, conventional laparoscopic surgery and robotic laparoscopy. In which, laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids by robot is considered the leading method today with uterine fibroids.
Currently, Vinmec International General Hospital is applying the treatment of uterine fibroids with robotic surgery performed by good doctors and good techniques
3.1. Advantages of robotic laparoscopic surgery compared with traditional laparoscopic surgery and open surgery No limitation of traditional vision, optimal image quality with higher accuracy. The robot has 4 hands, equivalent to 2 surgeons, which eliminates unnecessary vibrations (hand tremors). Capable of operating in difficult positions, can move freely at 6 angles, wriggle into the smallest and deep cavities. Safe, minimize the risk of complications, surgical infection. Less pain compared to conventional surgery. Less blood loss, quick recovery, reduced hospital stay. Ensure aesthetics due to very small surgical scars. Vinmec International General Hospital has equipped the US-made Da Vinci Robot with a sophisticated and modern structure, with 4 arms that simulate almost perfectly human hand movements, meeting the needs of surgery. with the highest requirements.

Besides updating new techniques, Vinmec also expands cooperation with the Hospital, leading professors in Europe and Asia. Professor Laurent Bresler - who laid the foundation for urological and digestive endoscopic surgery in France has cooperated with Vinmec Robotics Center since the first days of evaluation: “With modern equipment and investment In fact, I really believe that robotic surgery at Vinmec will develop in the near future and Vinmec can completely perform many new techniques in medicine”
3.2. Team of good surgeons Currently, the team of laparoscopic uterine fibroid removal surgeons in Vinmec are highly qualified doctors who have worked at Vinmec for many years. The doctors are all experts in laparoscopic fibroid removal and hysterectomy and have certificates in robotic surgery in Hong Kong such as Dr. Nguyen Thu Hoai, Dr. Thai Bang
3.3. Post-surgery program stands out with many differences: Doctors provide 24/7 care, continuous monitoring for at least 3 days after surgery Team of anesthesiologists, physiotherapists, doctors Nutrition always accompanies to ensure the earliest and painless recovery. Modern monitoring machines (heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, pulse measurement) in 24/24 Private care and professionally trained nurses to serve postoperative cases
