Can women with uterine fibroids drink honey?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have uterine fibroids. Can you not drink honey with uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, honey also contains a very small amount of estrogen. Women with uterine fibroids may grow faster under estrogen stimulation. Therefore, women with uterine fibroids should not drink honey. However, occasionally consuming a very small amount orally is okay. If you have uterine fibroids and they are small, you can have irregular follow-up checks. If the diameter is greater than 6 cm, surgery is necessary.
