Patient's question:
A health check at the unit revealed that I have uterine fibroids, but since they are not large, the doctor didn't mention needing surgery. After going home, my mother mentioned she found a recipe suggesting cooking red beans with poria and eggs, which is said to be very effective. Can I eat red beans cooked with angelica and eggs for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from uterine fibroids doesn't mean panic. First and foremost, it's important to understand that the vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is extremely small. The probability of uterine fibroids continuing to worsen is also very low, generally less than 1%. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not entirely clear, but it is related to hormone levels. Many uterine fibroids show no obvious symptoms, and small fibroids usually don't require treatment. Of course, taking traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis can be somewhat helpful.There are several treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but the diagnostic approach may vary depending on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are noticed.
