There are often patients with breast cancer surgery in the outpatient clinic, especially some estrogen receptor positive patients, can breast cancer patients drink soy milk after surgery? Listen to me slowly!
Since it is often heard that there is a large amount of estrogen in soy products, many people do not dry soy products, including soy milk, tofu, bean curd, etc.
Women in the body during the childbearing age contains a large amount of estrogen and progesterone, to the premenopausal and postmenopausal, with the decrease of estrogen in the body, will manifest as osteoporosis, dryness, irritability and other symptoms caused by the lack of estrogen receptors. Breast cancer patients need immunohistochemistry after surgery, and if they are estrogen receptor positive, oral estrogen receptor antagonists, such as tamoxifen and letrozole. These drugs can effectively compete with estrogen for binding to receptors. In this way, it can inhibit the ** and bone metastasis of breast cancer after surgery.
Soy foods contain phytoestrogens with the same structure as estrogen, but with a completely different function from estrogen. Patients who have undergone breast surgery can eat it with confidence. At the same time, it is of great help to supplement the plant protein in the body and improve the body's immunity. Our immune proteins, as well as complement, are due to protein synthesis. As long as the nutrition is sufficient, a large amount of immunoglobulin can be synthesized, which can enhance human resistance and slow down the risk of cancer.
