Can people with uterine fibroids take vitamin C?

1. People with uterine fibroids can usually take vitamin C.

2. Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor of uterine smooth muscle, which is an estrogen and progesterone-dependent disease. The main reason is that the excessive effect of estrogen in the body leads to abnormal proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, resulting in benign tumor lesions. Due to the high secretion of estrogen in the body, uterine fibroids will grow significantly, and patients usually experience increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, compression symptoms, lower abdominal lumps and other discomfort symptoms.

3. It is not recommended that patients eat foods containing hormones in their daily diet, such as royal jelly, soy milk, etc., nor should they take hormone-containing drugs, such as progesterone soft capsules, prednisolone acetate tablets, etc. Vitamin C is a vitamin drug, not a hormone drug. It is one of the indispensable vitamins for the human body and has antioxidant and immune-enhancing effects. Patients who follow the doctor's advice to take vitamin C will not only have adverse effects on the disease, but also replenish the vitamins in the body.

4. For patients diagnosed with uterine fibroids, reasonable treatment is required according to the size of the fibroids. If the fibroids are small, regular follow-up observation is generally possible. If the fibroids are large, have compression symptoms, or affect menstruation, timely myomectomy, hysterectomy and other treatments are required.
