Patient's question:
When my husband cooks, he loves to add a little Chinese yam. I'd like to ask if it's okay to eat Chinese yam with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
You can eat yam if you have uterine fibroids. Yam has very high nutritional value and will never affect uterine fibroids. If your uterine fibroids are subserosal and small in size, and do not affect your menstrual cycle, you can leave them untreated. On the other hand, if your uterine fibroids are less than 5 cm in diameter or affect your health, it is best to consider surgical removal. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
