Can people with uterine fibroids drink black tea?

Patients with uterine fibroids can drink black tea in moderation.

Recommended dosage: 100ml, about 1 cup/day

Patients with uterine fibroids should generally avoid eating spicy, sour and estrogen-containing foods. Black tea does not contain estrogen. Its main ingredients include caffeine and theaflavins. Drinking it properly can help with antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and can help refresh the mind, promote diuresis, promote the production of body fluids, and clear away heat. It usually does not cause recurrence of uterine fibroids, nor does it aggravate the condition.

Black tea contains more caffeine and is more irritating. Generally, you should not drink too much at one time, otherwise it may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, etc. It should be consumed half an hour after a meal. The tea polyphenols in black tea can also easily stimulate the cerebral cortex, causing it to be overexcited and leading to insomnia. Therefore, if you usually have poor sleep, try not to drink it.

Patients with uterine fibroids should usually pay attention to hygiene, especially menstrual and sexual hygiene, avoid long-term contact with estrogen and progesterone products, do not blindly take related drugs or health products, and maintain a stable mentality. Usually, they can exercise appropriately to enhance their physical fitness, such as practicing yoga or Tai Chi, jogging, etc.
