What are the dietary taboos for uterine fibroids?

Patients with uterine fibroids must pay attention to certain dietary taboos and principles in their daily lives, because some foods are not suitable for patients. For example, red dates, peanuts, and longan, although these foods have good nourishing and health-care effects, they are not suitable for patients with uterine fibroids.

1. Red dates. Red dates are sweet and warm in nature, and belong to the spleen and stomach meridians. They have the functions of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing blood and calming the mind, and alleviating the properties of medicine. However, the blood-replenishing function of red dates can stimulate the growth of uterine fibroids and accelerate the growth rate of uterine fibroids. Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids should not eat them, otherwise it will not help their condition.

2. Peanuts. The vitamin K in peanuts has a hemostatic effect and has a good hemostatic effect on a variety of bleeding diseases. However, patients with uterine fibroids should not eat it. The hemostatic and coagulation functions of vitamin K may cause coagulation inside the uterine fibroids, leading to ischemic necrosis of the uterine fibroids.

3. Longan. Longan has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood. It can increase the blood flow to uterine fibroids, provide more nutrients for their growth, accelerate the growth of fibroids, and aggravate the patient's condition.

4. Royal jelly. Royal jelly contains a certain amount of estrogen, and the occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to estrogen levels. The intake of estrogen by patients with uterine fibroids may affect the growth of uterine fibroids and aggravate the patient's condition.

5. Donkey-hide gelatin. Donkey-hide gelatin has the effects of nourishing blood and yin, moistening dryness and stopping bleeding. To prevent ischemic necrosis of uterine fibroids, patients should fast.
