A member asked:
Can phytoestrogens be safely used as a holistic option for fibroid treatment for someone in their 20s? and are topical as effective as oral supplement
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Fibroids occur due to excess estrogen levels. The last thing you want is to increase your estrogen levels with an exogenous source.
