Eating clay, a practice known as geophagy, is not directly linked to the development of fibroids. Fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the uterus and are influenced by factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetics, and lifestyle. While consuming clay may lead to nutritional deficiencies or gastrointestinal issues, there is no scientific evidence to suggest it causes fibroids. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for concerns regarding fibroids or dietary habits.

Is eating clay unhealthy in any way?
Many people (especially pregnant women) with iron or other mineral deficiencies have the urge to eat clay, dirt, and laundry starch. The urge to eat things that aren't normally considered foods is called "pica" Eating clay can be unhealthy because there are a lot of dangerous germs (bacteria) that could be living in the soil you are consuming. The organism that causes the lethal foodborne illness botulism actually resides in the soil. I would recommend against eating clay, and instead discuss with your doctor or dietitian things you can substitute instead of eating clay.

An ultrasound revealed a fibroid about 2 cm and doctor says it is too small to be the source of back and hip pain so can a fibroid be too small to cause pain?
Yes, a fibroid can be too small to cause pain. Typically, larger fibroids are more likely to lead to symptoms due to their size and pressure on surrounding organs or tissues. A 2 cm fibroid is generally considered small, and many women with small fibroids experience no symptoms at all. It's essential to consider other potential causes for back and hip pain, as they may not be related to the fibroid.
