Women with ovarian cysts can eat crayfish. Ovarian cysts are a common type of tumor occurring primarily in the ovaries of women. They are associated with inflammatory exudation, endocrine disorders, abnormal ovulation, and genetic mutations in ovarian tissue cells. Crayfish are rich in nutrients that can effectively enhance the body's immunity and thus help prevent premature ovarian failure. Selenium, a potent antioxidant found in crayfish, helps eliminate free radicals from the body and may reduce the risk of developing ovarian cysts.
