Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological tumor, often related to estrogen and progesterone. Since yam does not contain estrogen and progesterone, it will not make fibroids bigger after consumption, so patients with uterine fibroids can eat yam in moderation. Yam is a common ingredient in life, rich in nutrients such as starch, carotene, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and vegetable protein, etc. It is beneficial to eat in moderation and helps fibroids patients to strengthen their body. In addition, yam is also rich in dietary fiber, which helps prevent constipation when consumed in moderation, but be careful not to consume too much as it may cause diarrhea. In daily life, uterine fibroids patients should pay attention to their diet. As fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors, patients need to eat less food containing more estrogen and progesterone, such as soy products and dairy products, to avoid making the fibroids bigger. Birth control pills should also be avoided. If the fibroids are large, patients often need surgical treatment, such as myomectomy or total hysterectomy, depending on the patient’s fertility requirements. Myomectomy is recommended for those who want to preserve their fertility; hysterectomy is recommended for those who do not want to preserve their fertility.
