Question : Hello. I am a healthy 71 yr old female-had 4 normal pregnancies, all vaginal deliveries from 1960-1971. No problems going through my change and no need to take hormones to help. All female organs intact. Last month I began using hCg drops for Weight loss (several family members had and having great success with this) and on a trip to the E. R. with severe back pain a ct scan showed a uterine stripe needing biopsy? Since then I have had an ultrasound and now face next wk using 2 cytotec tablets orally day before a biopsy. All this waiting has me on edge....could these drops have caused the uterine problem ?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

HCG drops has nothing to do with uterine problem.
Both are not interconnected.
A simple biopsy will help in definitive diagnosis .

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you need more clarification.
I will be happy to help.

regards,
Dr Nilofer
