General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Shaheen,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Mifegest contains Mifepristone, which is a synthetic steroid having anti-progestin activity, and used for abortion and as anti-cancer agent.
Low-dose mifepristone administration has showed success as a treatment for uterine fibroids, or benign growths in the muscular tissue of a woman's uterus.
Hence, kindly take the drug and do the necessary follow-up as suggested by your doctor.
In case the response is not good, you may have to go for its removal by means of surgery.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
