Patient's question:
One of my relatives, an older woman, was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a while ago. She wants to eat jujubes today. Can people with uterine fibroids eat jujubes?Doctor's answer:
Red dates have the effect of tonifying qi and invigorating the spleen, but they contain a relatively high amount of estrogen. Women with uterine fibroids who consume red dates may potentially stimulate the recurrence of rapid growth of uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals with uterine fibroids avoid eating red dates. Instead, they can consume foods high in protein and vitamins, such as various types of eggs, fish, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
