Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for four or five years. Garlic is very good for the body, but I don't know if I can eat garlic now in my current condition. Hello, can you eat black garlic with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids cannot be consumed with black garlic because garlic is an irritating food. If patients eat too much of it, it may interfere with their condition. Garlic contains trace elements and vitamin C that are beneficial to the human body, offering certain nutritional and health benefits. Garlic contains allicin, which has the effect of inhibiting bacteria and sterilizing. Moreover, apart from the well-known antimicrobial effects that garlic is already famous for, it also plays an important role in antihypertension, antithrombotic, anti-aging, and other aspects. Uterine fibroids are primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and accumulation of dampness and heat, making it difficult for general medications to (zhěngzhì - meaning to fundamentally cure). There is no specific medicine for treating fibroids. Through long-term clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine, many highly effective treatment methods have been accumulated, which show rapid results and definite efficacy. It is best to adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as Chinese yam, rhizoma curcumae longae, and glycyrrhiza uralensis to treat fibroids.
