Patient's question:
My wife is 27 years old this year. Last month, she told me that she had some pain in her uterus. I accompanied her to the hospital, and unexpectedly, she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. We have scheduled a uterine fibroid surgery for next week. My friends gave me some Job's tears and red beans. I want to ask if it's okay to eat Job's tears and red beans with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If you have uterine fibroids, you can eat Job's tears and red beans, which have no impact on your body. People with uterine fibroids should not eat drugs or foods that contain estrogen. Job's tears and red beans do not contain any estrogen or progesterone, so they can be eaten. In fact, for smaller uterine fibroids, surgery may not need to be performed temporarily, and follow-up checks should be done at intervals to monitor the condition. However, if the uterine fibroids are larger and cause continuous heavy menstrual bleeding, or if symptoms need to be controlled, surgery may be necessary.
