A member asked:
Can eating or taking anything with photoestrogen have effect on urine fibroids in uterus ?can it make fibroids bigger & cancerous? may you explain dr

Phytoestrogens: Unlikely, phytoestrogens are very weak forms of estrogen and typically have to be consumed in very large quantities to have any effect on menopausal or premenstrual symptoms.

Yes: Fibroids grow under the influence of estrogen, so supplementing with phytoestrogens pills may make your fibroids grow faster. Eating normal amounts of phytoestrogens in soy or yams etc is unlikely to cause you any problems.
