Can women with uterine fibroids eat lamb?

Patient's question:

I really like eating lamb, but my mother-in-law said that I have a problem with my uterus and shouldn't eat it. Can I eat lamb if I have uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are relatively common benign tumors that recur in the smooth muscle of the uterus. The onset is considered to be related to a decrease in estrogen levels in the body. In daily diet, it is important not to eat foods high in estrogen content. However, lamb does not contain estrogen and is rich in other nutrients that the human body needs. Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids can also eat lamb. The above information can be used for reference.
