Patient's question:
My colleague is 26 years old and a woman. Her menstrual flow is very heavy whenever she has her period, and she says it's extremely abnormal. I advised her to go to the hospital to check what the cause is. The result showed it was uterine fibroids. Could you please tell me what a person with uterine fibroids should eat?Doctor's answer:
For patients with uterine fibroids, the diet should be light and simple as the foundation. Avoid spicy, stimulating foods and drinks, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw garlic and onions, and baijiu. You can eat bananas, as they are beneficial for absorption. Patients with constipation can also consume them. Apples can also be eaten in moderation, as these fruits are rich in vitamins, which can greatly strengthen the body, enhance immunity, and provide the body with enough strength to cope with uterine fibroids.
