Should I Stop Taking Garcinia Aftr A D&C?
I began taking Garcinia Cambogia about 6 months ago. To date have lost about 22 pounds---but would like to lose another 15. However, a few weeks ago, I had a week of post menopausal bleeding (after 25 years), which led to a D&C and Hysteroscopy. My Doc says everything looks good, but advised me to stop taking the Garcinia. Aoes this sound valid?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you have already lost 22 pounds,in 6 months. it means you are also loosing the fats around the uterus,cholesterol,and also calories.
More over if the menopausal bleeding is repeated, you may need to have hysterectomy.
As your doctor suggests avoid using the combogia and start diet control and exercise and yoga.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
