Did HCG Injection Taken For Weight Loss Cause Fibroids?

Brief Answer:
Detail below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concern in detail,
NO,HCG injection does not cause fibroid,if a person uses hCG to detox in addition to doing one of his complete programs, the uterine fibroids will actually decrease in size over time
Treatment of fibroids depends on the symptoms they are causing, the location of the fibroids, and the goals of treatment, including desire for fertility. A small fibroid in the cavity may cause very heavy bleeding and be treatable with hysteroscopic removal. Large bulky fibroids causing bladder and bowel pressure may require uterine artery embolization or hysterectomy.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
