Dr. Chen Zhe
Patients with uterine fibroids should avoid consuming soy products, as these contain large amounts of estrogen. Excessive intake of soy products may lead to rapid growth of uterine fibroids, potentially resulting in tumor enlargement and the need for surgical intervention. It is recommended that patients with uterine fibroids avoid strongly stimulating foods and those high in cholesterol in daily life, as this helps control the condition.
