Can I eat tofu if I have uterine fibroids?

Tofu is a food that we often eat in our daily life. Many people like to eat it, but because it is a food made from soybeans, women with uterine fibroids have heard that bean foods have high growth hormone content and are not suitable for patients to eat. If eating tofu and other bean foods is not good for controlling the disease, is this really the case? Let's take a closer look below.

In fact, patients with uterine fibroids can eat tofu. Tofu is very beneficial to our health. The soy lecithin it contains will not promote the growth of uterine fibroids, so patients do not have to worry. The rumor that patients cannot eat soy products is wrong. Patients can eat a variety of soy products appropriately. However, this type of disease also has food taboos, and patients need to consume the following foods with caution.

1. Hot and dry ingredients

Patients should be careful about taking in too many nourishing foods, such as dried longan, jujube, donkey-hide gelatin cake, etc. These foods are very effective in replenishing blood and qi, and are relatively hot, which will promote the growth of uterine fibroids. If patients often take these foods, uterine fibroids may grow rapidly, which is not good for the treatment of the disease. In addition, patients should eat less food containing hormones such as chicken testicles, shrimp eggs, fish roe, crab meat, and snow clams.

2. Fishy foods

Patients should try to reduce the intake of this kind of food. Although this kind of nutritious diet is rich, it can easily aggravate the symptoms. Taboos on irritating foods have very important practical significance in the treatment of many diseases. Beef, pepper, mutton, duck, wine, etc. are all foods that are not suitable for patients to take.

3. Spicy food

Patients should be aware that foods with strong flavors are bad for health, especially spicy foods, such as pepper, chili pepper, garlic, fried foods, grilled skewers, maoxuewang and other highly irritating foods, which are strictly prohibited for patients.

According to the introduction in the above article, we can understand that patients can eat tofu, and other bean products can be consumed appropriately, but there are many foods that patients cannot consume. Patients must understand the taboos in diet and maintain a light and nutritious diet. Greasy and sweet foods are not good for health and should be avoided.
