Can women with uterine fibroids eat beans?

Patient's question:

Last month I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I don't need surgery and have been taking medication. Can I eat beans with uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking: Patients with uterine fibroids should consume fewer soy products because they contain soy isoflavones and estrogen. Soy isoflavones and estrogen can easily lead to estrogen excess, which may exacerbate the symptoms of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are primarily caused by high estrogen levels in the body, so it is recommended to eat fewer soy products during the treatment of uterine fibroids. The above information can be used as a reference.
