Can HGH Hormone Increase Endometrial Tissue And Cause Uterine Lining Bleed?
I have been taking HGH orally for about 6 months. Today I had an issue of fresh blood from my vagina. Can this hormone cause an increase in endometrial tissue and make the uterine lining bleed? I am very concerned because I just turned 70 and I had endometriosis about 2 years ago because of a similar situation. I am seeing my gynecologist tomorrow and she doe not know I am taking this hormone as I have not seen her since last year.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it would be better to inform the gynecologist about the hormone medicines that you are on, because your symptoms could be due to that only, or it may be due to your age but bleeding per vagina in this age is matter of concern indeed, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
