Patient's question:
My aunt was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids last month. Since she is married and doesn't have any children, it's up to me and my sister to take turns caring for her. We are both dealing with the illness, and when I cook meals, I'm not even aware of what my aunt can and cannot eat.Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids should avoid consuming foods that are hot in nature, promote blood coagulation, or contain hormone components, such as longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly. Avoid spicy foods and drinks like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu. Maintain a light diet and avoid foods that trigger flare-ups, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish. You can eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, and seaweed, as well as fruits.
