There is no evidence to suggest that drinking coffee is either beneficial or harmful for uterine fibroids. Coffee is a common beverage and does not worsen uterine fibroids, although it also has no therapeutic effect on them. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors; if patients do not exhibit obvious symptoms, treatment may be postponed, but regular follow-up visits at the hospital are necessary. If patients develop significant symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly and receive appropriate treatment, such as medication or surgery.
