Patient's question:
I was at the last time because I was not pregnant, I did an ultrasound and found a uterine fibroid, but it's not very big, the doctor said it's okay, but I heard that people with uterine fibroids cannot eat soy products, otherwise it will grow bigger and bigger, so I want to ask if you can eat soy products with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not very clear, and it is generally believed to be related to the estrogen levels in the body. Therefore, for patients with uterine fibroids, it is generally not recommended to consume large amounts of soy products, as most soy products contain phytoestrogens, which can easily affect the estrogen levels in the body. It is recommended to undergo periodic follow-up checks under the guidance of a local doctor. Additionally, if the uterine fibroids are small and the patient is planning to become pregnant, active preparation for pregnancy can be considered.
