Patient's question:
Women with uterine fibroids need to actively treat the disease, and their daily diet is also very important. Especially after the onset of the disease, they should avoid dragon fruit, spicy and irritating foods, and even acidic foods should be eaten as little as possible. So, what are the foods and fruits that are the nemesis of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids should not eat dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is rich in a plant-based protein that is less common in vegetables and fruits. The sesame seeds in dragon fruit have digestive properties that promote gut health, while the fruit and juice have a positive effect on tumor growth and viral infection responses. This can worsen the condition, so women with uterine fibroids should avoid dragon fruit. Women with uterine fibroids should also avoid acidic foods, as acidic foods have astringent and consolidating effects, which can cause blood stagnation and hinder the discharge of menstrual blood, leading to menstrual cramps. Therefore, acidic foods should be avoided. Common acidic foods include plums, strawberries, sour jujubes, plums, lemons, and star fruit.
