Can hyperplasia patient take hcg diet?
Patient: Hi, I had an Hyperplasia complex with focal atypia regressed 2 years ago , I want to do the hcg diet and my doctor told me I can t , before he told me the only way I will not have the hyperplasia coming back is 1- need to loose weight 2- taking progesterone pills 3- getting pregnant and my question is while a women is pregnant she developes thousands of ius of the hcg hormone why I can t have much less ius of the hormone to do the diet???? Doctor: hi,I am not sure how this site allows doctors to see reports, Because i see no options to see any reportsHowever , it appears that you want to loose weight and is inclined to use hcg diet for the same. However the question first arise is "wether hcg diet is effective". This type of diet is often prescribed with low calorie which is the real cause of wight loss achieved. As far as your question goes, exogenous hcg is never proved to be free from side effects. You pituitary gonadal axis may get suppressed though  this effect is more pronounced in males. Moreover it should be avoided in hormone dependent  cancers like breast and prostateI know that you are neither male nor breast cancer case, but i strongly suggest against taking exogenous hcg  for weight loss, which can be achieved with planned diet and exercise program
