Patient's question:
Because I often suffer from constipation, I usually drink honey water every day. But yesterday, I heard from a colleague that if you have uterine fibroids, you cannot drink it. I do have uterine fibroids, and it has been two months already. Besides the two, they are very small, so I am taking medication to treat them.Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids can drink honey water. Moreover, attention should be paid to diet. A light diet is recommended, avoiding foods that may trigger exacerbation such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Spicy foods and drinks like chili, Sichuan pepper, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu should also be avoided. Foods with heating properties, blood-clotting effects, or hormone components such as longans, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly should be consumed in moderation. Instead, it is advisable to eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, nori, and fruits.
