Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to their diet. The following are the main dietary restrictions:
1. Spicy and irritating foods: such as onion, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, etc., which may stimulate the body and worsen the condition.
2. High-calorie and high-fat foods: such as fried dough sticks (youtiao), cheese, etc., excessive consumption of which may lead to enlargement of uterine fibroids and increase bodily burden.
3. Foods and medications containing hormones: such as royal jelly, donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao), etc., which may cause endocrine disorders and hinder disease recovery.
4. High-salt foods: such as processed meat products, pickled vegetables, etc., excessive intake of which may lead to fluid retention in the body and exacerbate tumor size.
