Does soy milk cause fibroids to grow?

The link between soy milk and fibroid growth is unclear and requires further research. Many studies suggest soy-based isoflavones have weak estrogenic effects. However, the isoflavones in soy act mainly as weak phytoestrogens that can bind to estrogen receptors without stimulating the growth of fibroids.

While more research is needed to conclude that drinking soy milk causes fibroids, avoiding soy may be reasonable if concerned based on personal history and preferences with your doctor's guidance. Consult them before making significant dietary changes, especially if trying to prevent or manage fibroids.
