Patient's question:
My wife now has uterine fibroids, but she ate a lot of tomatoes for dinner. Can people with uterine fibroids eat tomatoes?Doctor's answer:
It is okay to eat tomatoes if you have uterine fibroids, as this situation has no impact. With uterine fibroids, it is best to avoid eating legume foods as much as possible, as these foods contain a high amount of estrogen, which may stimulate the growth of fibroids. It is advisable to eat less spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers. Regular follow-up check-ups at the hospital are important to monitor the growth of the fibroids. As long as they are not growing rapidly, there is no need for concern.
