Patient's question:
I discovered uterine fibroids during my physical examination last year. My menstrual flow has been relatively heavy, but I haven't experienced any pain symptoms again. I also had a thorough examination this year, and the uterine fibroids have hardly changed. Under these circumstances, can I eat peanuts? What else should I pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids can eat peanuts. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid foods containing estrogen, such as soy milk and soy products. Regular B-ultrasound examinations should be conducted to closely monitor any changes in the fibroids. If the fibroids are growing and menstrual bleeding is continuously increasing, surgical removal of the fibroids should be considered. Otherwise, prolonged neglect can lead to anemia. Uterine fibroids can be removed through laparoscopic surgery, which causes minimal damage and allows for a relatively quick recovery.
