Patient's question:
My mother-in-law always goes to the hospital for a thorough check-up every year. This year, she went to the hospital after the New Year. The results showed no other issues, just an uterine fibroid. The doctor didn't suggest hospitalization or anything, just prescribed some medication. The doctor didn't say much beyond that, but if it's a condition, dietary precautions are definitely necessary. My mother-in-law loves eating corn, so I wanted to ask if it's okay to eat corn with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are benign tumors. If you are diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you can follow your doctor's advice for medication and treatment. You just need to check the size of the fibroids regularly. However, there are some dietary precautions to be aware of. You should avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that may trigger exacerbation. Corn may be considered, as it generally does not interfere with the growth of fibroids. It is recommended not to eat foods that may trigger exacerbation, such as mutton and dog meat.
