Patient's question:
The doctor has been experiencing constant pain in my lower abdomen and continuous bleeding from the lower body during this period. Later, feeling uneasy, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have uterine fibroids. Currently, I am undergoing medication treatment, and the doctor has advised me to pay attention to my diet. Hello. Can I drink saffron with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
In the case of uterine fibroids, most people can consume saffron, as its main effect is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which can be beneficial for the auxiliary treatment of uterine fibroids. The recurrence of uterine fibroids may be related to long-term estrogen stimulation. Saffron does not contain phytoestrogen, so it does not affect uterine fibroids. However, if it is a submucosal uterine fibroid that tends to cause a continuous increase in menstrual flow, using saffron may enhance the amount of menstrual flow. In this case, it is best to consume it less frequently.
