Can people with breast fibroadenoma eat pumpkin?

Patients with breast fibroadenoma can moderately consume pumpkin.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, both of which are important for breast health. Vitamin A helps maintain the normal structure and function of the breasts, promotes differentiation and healthy growth of breast cells, thereby helping to prevent breast diseases. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties that protect breast tissue from damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of developing fibroadenoma.

Avoid excessive intake, as pumpkin contains a certain amount of phytoestrogens, which may disrupt hormonal balance if consumed in excess, potentially worsening symptoms of breast fibroadenoma. Also avoid consuming too many high-sugar, high-fat foods, as they may trigger hormonal imbalances and negatively affect the condition.
