Can women with uterine fibroids eat American ginseng?

Patient's question:

Two months after my last menstrual period, it has been continuous, with intermittent bleeding for over a month. I've been experiencing a sensation of bloating in my lower abdomen and lower back pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was uterine fibroids, but they weren't very large. The doctor recommended not having surgery to remove them and emphasized the importance of dietary attention. Hello, can I take American ginseng with uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

If you have uterine fibroids, it is indeed not recommended to take these supplements, because taking supplements can indeed potentially increase the body's condition, and the fish oil may also lead to a reduction in the size of the fibroids. Since your current uterine fibroids are not very large, doctors have advised you not to have surgery, indicating that the problem is not serious. You can take some blood-activating medications to allow the fibroids to gradually grow. As long as it does not affect your menstrual cycle and there are no symptoms, regular follow-up examinations are sufficient. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay more attention to cleanliness.
