What foods and fruits should be avoided with uterine fibroids?
Disease description:
My husband went to the hospital for a pre-epidemic checkup, and during the examination it was discovered that I have a uterine fibroid. However, it's not large, and the doctor said regular monitoring would be sufficient. Could you please tell me what foods or fruits should be avoided with uterine fibroids?

Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
Patients with uterine fibroids should avoid consuming high-fat, high-sugar, and overly spicy foods. High-fat foods such as fatty meats and fried items may stimulate fibroid growth and should be reduced. High-sugar foods like candies and desserts should also be limited to prevent blood sugar fluctuations that could affect hormone levels. Spicy foods such as chili peppers and ginger may exacerbate inflammatory responses and are not conducive to fibroid control. Regarding fruits, although most have no direct impact on uterine fibroids, patients should consume them in moderation and avoid excessive intake of high-sugar fruits such as durian and grapes. A balanced diet is crucial for managing uterine fibroids; patients should maintain a well-rounded diet and avoid unhealthy eating habits.
