Patient's question:
These past few days, I haven't been feeling well. I've been feeling drowsy and sluggish all the time, and everything seems off. I can't eat, and I keep feeling nauseous and dry heaving. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the hCG levels were high. My friend said that high hCG levels could be a sign of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
First, it needs to be clarified that in cases of uterine fibroids, there will be no decline in hCG levels. A decline in hCG is mostly due to pregnancy. It is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible for confirmation. It is important to rest more, avoid overexertion, and maintain sufficient deep sleep. During pregnancy, it is essential to consume adequate folic acid and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
