Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 34 years old this year, and I have uterine fibroids. I am currently undergoing treatment. My mother bought me softshell turtle, wanting to help me build up my strength, but I am afraid I cannot eat it. I would like to ask the doctor if it is okay to eat softshell turtle with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The softshell turtle is rich in nutrients such as amino acids, proteins, minerals, and trace elements. It can also be consumed by individuals with uterine fibroids. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor the changes in uterine fibroids. If the fibroids progressively shrink, with a diameter of less than five centimeters, and accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, as well as lower back pain, surgical treatment may be required. It is important to avoid emotional excitement and maintain a positive attitude at all times.
