Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroids have been detected for 16 years, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not yet been performed. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. What foods should be eaten more and which should be eaten less for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are greatly influenced by female estrogen. If the fibroids are small, there is little change in the menstrual period and cycle. After menopause, they will gradually expand. It is recommended to avoid spicy foods such as chili, pepper, garlic, scallions, ginger, chives, chicken soup, durian, and other spicy seasonings. Longan, jujube, eel glue, and royal jelly are thermogenic, coagulant, and hormone-containing, which can cause severe menstrual cramps. It is advisable to consume more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, and seaweed, as well as fruits.
