Patient's question:
My aunt has uterine fibroids. She doesn't have much education and doesn't know what to do. Then she likes to drink soy milk. Will uterine fibroids get bigger?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can be consumed with soy milk, but it is recommended to drink less soy milk or soy products. First, reduce the intake of foods that are hot, coagulative, and contain hormones, such as sweet longans, jujubes, donkey skin glue, and royal jelly. Also, limit the consumption of spicy foods and beverages like pepper, onions, raw garlic, and white wine. Avoid foods related to the animal reproductive system or those high in hormones, including dairy products, eggs, and meat from hormone-treated animals. Additionally, consume light foods in moderation, such as mutton, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Pomegranates should also be avoided, as they contain phytoestrogens related to female hormones. These foods should not be consumed excessively, as it is not good for health.
