Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 hi group, 2 questions re fibroids and heavy bleeding. Does anyone know if heavy exercise can cause fibroids to increas in size or to cause heavier periods. When I recently had my " boulder " type periods, I had been going to the gym for workout 3 times a week for about 6 1/2 months. I don't know if this would do it, but my routine consisted of: 10 min bicycle 20 min weights 6-150lbs. 20 min treadmill 10 min stair climber Also, at that same time I was taking a meal supplement containing soy protein. It is called " Genisoy " . Apparently soy does have natural estrogen. and I wonder if it may have had an effect on fibroids? These ideas may seem bizarre, but I cannot leave myself open to this type of bleeding again even if it means changint my exercise routine and not having any naturally ocurring estrogen through food products.
