Patient's question:
Usually, I often dislike eating tomatoes. Whether it's the season for tomatoes or not, I always buy them from the street to eat. Recently, due to lower abdominal pain, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The doctor advised me to pay attention to my diet. Could you please tell me if I can eat tomatoes with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common type of benign tumor that can cause symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, and menstrual disorders. If uterine fibroids are detected, it is essential to use medication under the guidance of a doctor, and dietary adjustments should also be made. Tomatoes can be consumed with uterine fibroids, as they will not have any adverse effects on the fibroids. However, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that are considered "conducive to exacerbating conditions."
