Patient's question:
Recheck once is enough. I pay close attention to what I eat every day. In the past, my family had to grind soy milk every day. Now that I have uterine fibroids, I don't know if it's still good to eat.Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids should not eat tofu because soybeans and soy products contain a type of isoflavone that can adjust estrogen levels. The structure of isoflavone is similar to female estrogen, so it is called "phytoestrogen" and can produce effects similar to estrogen. Therefore, long-term or excessive consumption can lead to a high-estrogen environment, which can have a certain effect on women with uterine fibroids, either inducing or promoting the growth of uterine fibroids.Women with uterine fibroids are directly facing the harm of this condition, so we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids are not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
