What Are the Dietary Restrictions for Uterine Fibroids?
Disease description:
Yesterday, my company organized a physical examination, and the results revealed that I have uterine fibroids. At the time, the doctor did not indicate any immediate concerns but advised me to monitor the condition. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions are recommended for uterine fibroids?

Patients with uterine fibroids should primarily avoid foods containing estrogen. Specifically, they should avoid soy products and vegetables or fruits with relatively high estrogen content—such as sesame seeds, celery, and grapes—as well as spicy and stimulating foods. Additionally, seafood and health supplements—including sea cucumber, fish, shrimp, duck meat, royal jelly, and donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao)—should also be avoided.
