Is it suitable for patients with uterine fibroids to consume flaxseed oil?

Patient's question:

Already ill for ten years, six centimeters in size
Annual gynecological examination

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors. Hormonal drug therapy is used in clinical practice. For patients with uterine fibroids of size <5 cm, who have no symptoms or mild symptoms, if they are women nearing menopause, the fibroids may naturally shrink after menopause. If the fibroids are larger than 5 cm or accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding or abdominal pain, timely laparoscopic or surgical treatment should be performed.
