Patient's question:
My wife is frail and often ill, and I want to buy some Reishi mushrooms for her to eat. However, she has uterine fibroids, so I want to ask the doctor if it's safe for her to consume Reishi mushrooms.Doctor's answer:
I am glad to clarify this for you. It is possible to consume reishi even if you have uterine fibroids. Reishi generally will not promote the growth of uterine fibroids. I vaguely remember that it is important to follow medical advice for periodic check-ups. If the fibroids are no larger than five centimeters, you can have a check-up once a year. Avoid taking medications and supplements that contain estrogen. A light diet should be the foundation, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
