Hello and welcome to HCM,
The fibroids in the uterus develop and progress under the influence of estrogens.
Estrogens are responsible for growth and development of the fibroids.
HCG is human chorionic gonadotrophin secreted by trophoblastic tissue or the placental tissue.
HCG does not increase or decrease the effect of estrogens so it is not associated with the growth or development of estrogens.
Thanks and take care
