Hello,

HCG diet is best choice for weight loss. It has no relation with fibroid growth and temporary hyperplasia turns into previous stage after stopping HCG diet.

Estrogen and progesterone mostly affect fibroid growth. You should avoid taking them externally and periodic monitoring is mandatory. Good luck.

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. It is not advisable to take HCG for reducing weight. FDA and Federal Trade Commission issued warning letters to seven companies marketing over-the-counter hCG products labeled as “homeopathic” for weight loss. So kindly do not take this medication.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
