Patient's question:
My husband bought a big softshell turtle home, but I'm afraid to eat this thing. Can women with uterine fibroids eat softshell turtle?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can be eaten with softshell turtle. Softshell turtle has very high nutritional value and is beneficial to health. Softshell turtle will never affect uterine fibroids, because uterine fibroids are affected by hormone levels, and softshell turtle does not have the effect of reducing uterine fibroids or causing changes in nature. Patients with uterine fibroids should avoid spicy and irritating foods in their diet, as they may cause menstrual bleeding to increase.
