Patient's question:
My sister got a uterine fibroid, but she wants to eat oysters. Can people with uterine fibroids eat oysters?Doctor's answer:
Oysters are cold-natured foods, and it is not recommended to eat them frequently. This cold-natured food may force the growth of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are the most common hormone-dependent benign tumors in women. If the fibroids are small and cause no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. Regular and careful observation of their expansion and changes is sufficient. However, dietary precautions should be taken, and it is best to avoid extremely cold, hard, spicy, and other irritating foods.
