Can patients with uterine fibroids eat edamame?

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease. Generally speaking, uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and the requirements for this disease in life are very high, especially in terms of dietary rules. Because uterine fibroids are closely related to some female hormones in the female body, if we eat some foods containing hormones, it will cause the growth of uterine fibroids to accelerate. The same is true for edamame, so we must be cautious.

In terms of diet, you should eat less or be careful when eating soy products, especially edamame and soy products (tofu, soy milk, soy paste, soy milk, etc.), because soybeans and soy products contain a kind of soy isoflavones that can regulate estrogen levels. The structure of soy isoflavones is similar to estrogen and is called "phytoestrogen". It can produce effects similar to estrogen. Therefore, long-term consumption or excessive consumption will create a high-estrogen environment, which can induce or promote the growth of uterine fibroids in people with uterine fibroids. In addition, people with uterine fibroids should eat less red meat and stay away from meat from grass-fed animals that have been artificially raised and treated with hormones and antibiotics.

Not only edamame, but other greasy and fried foods can also increase estrogen, so you should eat less of them. People with uterine fibroids should adopt a whole-grain diet and eat more whole grains, such as millet, whole wheat, oats, purple rice, black rice, etc. Clinical medicine shows that overly obese women can also produce more estrogen in their bodies. Therefore, regular exercise, weight loss and avoiding obesity are effective ways to reduce excess estrogen in the body.

For female patients with uterine fibroids, after reading the above analysis, they should understand that they should not hesitate and allow momentary negligence to cause the development of the disease. Therefore, we should temporarily ban the use of edamame products. We can choose some light foods and pay more attention to rest in life.
