Are Hucog Injections Safe To Treat Fibroid Outside Uterus?
Question: Hi, My wife is 8 weeks pregnant, all her reports are normal except a fibroid outside uterus. Doctor gave her a hucog injection today and suggested to take it every week. Not able to understand what was its need?
Brief Answer:
HCG given in history of recurrent abortions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
HCG injections are given during early pregnancy to support the placental function. It reduces the chances of threatened abortion and helps in sustaining pregnancy. The finding of a fibroid in the uterus is not a worrisome one. The fibroid usually grows with the uterus during pregnancy and then regresses to its original size after delivery.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

My wife is not having any history of abortions, This is our first child, just wanted to make sure taking additional hCG without any reason should not create problems instead of resolving it.
Please let me know if you wish to review reports in details, Should she still continue taking Hucog injections weekly?

Even if there is no history of abortions taking Hucog injections will not do any harm to her. She can avoid taking these in case she experiences excessive nausea and vomiting after taking these.
