Patients with uterine fibroids should avoid foods high in hormones, such as animal offal, donkey-hide gelatin (Ejiao), royal jelly, etc., as consuming large amounts may increase hormone levels in the body and stimulate the growth of fibroids. They should also avoid blood-tonifying foods such as red dates, brown sugar, and goji berries, since excessive intake of these may promote rapid growth of uterine fibroids. Additionally, it is not recommended to consume spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and pepper, as these can trigger inflammation and worsen the condition.
