Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone, often dubbed the “pregnancy hormone”, produced by the placenta.
In men, it mimics luteinising hormone (LH), acting on Leydig cells in the testes to stimulate testosterone and sperm production.
Key Components and Benefits:
Infertility Treatment (Women): Used in assisted reproduction (IVF, IUI) to trigger final follicle maturation and ovulation.
Infertility Treatment (Men): Used to increase sperm production and treat hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Testicular Health: Sometimes used in Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) protocols to maintain testicular function, size, and testosterone production.
Prepubertal Cryptorchidism: Used to treat undescended testicles in young boys not caused by anatomical obstruction.
