How to avoid dietary restrictions with uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Last year during a health check-up, multiple uterine fibroids were discovered, with the largest measuring 0.90.6 cm. I was very nervous and worried that the fibroids might grow and interfere with future pregnancy. I suggested surgery to remove them, but the doctor didn't agree, saying that it would still be easy to relapse after the surgery. Moreover, since they were so small, it was highly unlikely that they would interfere with pregnancy. The doctor recommended follow-up check-ups at irregular intervals and advised me to pay attention to my diet.

Doctor's answer:

Hello.
1. Women with uterine fibroids should avoid grilled, fried, and pickled foods. Try to eat fresh, plain foods instead.
2. Do not consume spicy, alcoholic, or frozen foods. Spicy foods can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to endocrine imbalances. Therefore, as a uterine fibroid patient, it is best to stay away from hot pot and spicy foods.
3. Avoid foods that are prone to triggering symptoms, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, and salted fish.
4. Do not eat longan, jujubes, donkey-hide glue, or royal jelly.
5. Oral contraceptives are not advisable. The condition of uterine fibroids is serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for targeted treatment.
