Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed an increase in leukorrhea, changes in my menstrual cycle, and often feel a heavy, bloated sensation in my lower abdomen. I also feel weak all over, have a pale complexion, and experience palpitations. The hospital examination results showed uterine fibroids. I'd like to ask if it's okay to eat jujubes (red dates) with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered that it can be eaten. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female pelvis. If the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, they generally do not require treatment. Especially for those who have reached menopausal age, after menopause, estrogen levels decline, and fibroids naturally shrink or disappear. Regular follow-up (every 3 to 6 months) is sufficient. However, if the fibroids are larger than 5 cm or have grown by more than 3-5 cm within 3 to 6 months, it may indicate a malignant transformation, and surgery is necessary.
