What foods should I eat to promote ovulation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an important cause of female infertility. Polycystic ovaries do not mean that you are completely unable to get pregnant. The important thing is that you can ovulate normally and then you have a chance of getting pregnant. Therefore, after suffering from polycystic ovary, in order to improve the success rate of pregnancy, dietary therapy has become a concern for many patients. So, what foods can people with polycystic ovary syndrome eat to promote ovulation? Let’s take a look below.

Black beans and other soy products have a certain effect on promoting ovulation, because soybeans contain a large amount of soy isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens without side effects. They are very effective in supplementing estrogen. They also contain plant protein, cellulose and other nutrients, and can be eaten for a long time. (Related link: Can food promote ovulation?)

However, women should not eat black beans blindly, as black beans promote estrogen. The specific way to eat them is to eat them for six consecutive days starting from the first day after the menstruation ends, and the amount of consumption does not need to be too much. Black beans can be soaked for 12 hours before cooking, and a small amount of salt can be added.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black beans enter the kidney meridian and have the functions of nourishing the kidney, replenishing blood and improving eyesight. Regular consumption of black beans has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on kidney deficiency, physical weakness, low back pain, weak knees, body and face edema, rheumatism, joint discomfort, carbuncles and sores. Black beans are believed to be effective for irregular menstruation and have a stabilizing effect on the fetus. Pregnant women can benefit from eating them regularly.
