Uterine myoma is one of gynecological diseases, and its incidence rate is very high.

Can I eat tofu when suffering from uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are a disease that often occurs in women of childbearing age, and they may atrophy or disappear after menopause. The occurrence of uterine fibromatosis is closely related to the secretion of hormones in the body. Therefore, in normal life, female friends should eat less foods containing hormones. People with uterine fibroids can eat tofu because tofu contains soy isoflavones, which are female estrogen, but the content is relatively low. Patients with uterine fibroids generally gain weight by eating tofu. It will not cause the enlargement of uterine fibroids, and a small amount of estrogen will not change uterine fibroids. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is not a problem for fibroid patients to eat tofu.
But people with uterine fibroids must be careful not to eat too much tofu. Otherwise, it will produce the effect of estrogen samples, so long-term consumption of too much will increase the estrogen environment. For patients with uterine fibroids, it can play an inducing role and promote the growth of uterine fibroids. Therefore, we should be careful not to eat too much, and it is okay to occasionally eat a little.
What should uterine fibroids not eat?
1. Avoid eating longan and longan
After female friends develop uterine fibroids, it is important to avoid eating longan, as longyan has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. However, if patients with uterine fibroids eat too much longan, it is easy to increase the blood flow of uterine fibroids, providing strong conditions for the enlargement of uterine fibroids. Therefore, uterine fibroids grow rapidly and the condition becomes increasingly severe.
2. Avoid consuming stimulating foods
Patients with uterine fibroids should not eat stimulating foods such as pepper, fatty foods, ginger, onions, etc. If the patient eats too much, it will have a stimulating effect on the uterus, and it is recommended not to eat them. Fried, grilled, and pickled foods cannot be eaten as they are not good for the body and may even worsen the condition.
3. Try to eat less peanuts
If uterine fibroids occur, try to eat less or avoid peanuts as they contain abundant vitamins that can have a hemostatic effect. After eating peanuts, patients with uterine fibroids are likely to experience coagulation within the fibroids, leading to ischemic necrosis of the fibroids.
After a female friend has a uterine fibroid, she cannot eat a lot of food. Therefore, women must be careful not to eat longan, peanuts, royal jelly, stimulating foods, fried and pickled foods, which can have a significant impact on patients with uterine fibroids and worsen their condition. Suggest patients and friends to eat more vegetables and fruits to reduce the incidence of uterine fibroids.
