Patient's question:
Since March of last year, my menstrual cycle has not been very normal. The timing of each period is inaccurate, but it takes about nine days to clean up. I went to the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up and was told that I have uterine fibroids. It is recommended to have follow-up examinations irregularly. Recently, the newly launched pumpkin is very delicious. Can I eat pumpkin with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common type of benign tumor in women's gynecological diseases. Before women go through menopause, as long as they have their monthly period and adequate blood supply, uterine fibroids will gradually grow. As long as the fibroids haven't reached a size that affects the endometrium, or their location doesn't impact the endometrium, they generally don't have a significant impact on daily life. Therefore, there are no special dietary recommendations, and pumpkin can also be eaten.
