Could The Pain In He Lower Abdomen Be Due To The Herbalife Supplements?

I started herballife milkshake with celluloss on feb1 14, 2014. slowly and steady i realized pain in my lower abdomen for which i was asked to do MRI of the pelvic region. It was found that i have 6 fibroids anterior and posterior wall of my fibroid... was suggested to remove the uterus.. however, since i was 41 yrs, doctor suggested that i take injections fr 3 months which may hopefully relieve me from the pain and also gradually shrink the fibroid... i dont recollect the name of the injection.. but i guess its starts with lub.... does herballife have anything to do with this since my hubby insists that after taking these products i hv landed with this problem... i was 61 kgs and my ht. 5.1 .. i was continuously putting on weight and cud nt control the same and therefore went for herballife....

Hello, Welcome to HCM.
You have not mentioned since how long you have been taking herbal life before the diagnosis of fibroids.
As for as it is known, there are no studies have been done on effect of these herbs on ,ovary , uterus and endocrine system.
There is no evidence in favor of it, but at same time there is none against.
If you are gaining weight you can also get your thyroid function tested.
Good luck.
