Can Injecting Synthetic HCG For Weight Loss Cause Endometrial Cancer?
I need to lose weight really bad and injecting synthetic hCG has helped me curb my appetite and lose weight. Can hCG for weight loss cause endometrial cancer or is it just the opposite: like progesterone, does it protects and even cures hyperplasia and endometrial cancer? Is it better to use the natural hCG vs the synthetic one? Which one is better? My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY and I am ILLIANA.

Hello,
The synthetic hCG is used for induction of ovulation in cases of infertility. However, apart from other side effects such as
- Headache
- Nausea, vomiting , diarrhea
- Weight gain
- Swelling legs
- Uneasiness
It is not related to cause endometrial cancer, neither it is protective against the same.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
