Can I eat papaya if I have uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I have uterine fibroids, and I have just finished surgery. I am resting at home now. Can I eat papaya with uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

After undergoing surgery for uterine fibroids, it is acceptable to eat papaya. This is because the composition of uterine fibroids is caused by long-term and excessive estrogen stimulation. Eating papaya will not affect the occurrence of uterine fibroids or hinder the body's recovery. Additionally, papaya is highly nutritious, containing a significant amount of vitamin C, which is beneficial for the body's recovery. It also helps alleviate constipation and can lower blood pressure.
