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.
