A member asked:

Gyn , if i did a fasting for 40 days , can it help to starve the fibroids and cause them to shrink ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Fibroids do not rise and fall with your weight. There are some foods that increase your risk (red meat) of developing fibroids and some that seem protective ( vegetables), but they do not affect the size of fibroids as far as i know.
