Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)

Uses

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is used in the treatment of female infertility and male hypogonadism.

How it Works

How human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) works Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a sex hormone. In females, it facilitates the release of eggs from the ovaries. In males, it enhances the production of testosterone, which aids in treating conditions such as delayed puberty and low sperm count.

Side Effects

Common side effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) include ovarian cysts and enlarged ovaries.

Expert Advice

  • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is used in conjunction with another hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) for the treatment of infertility in women.
  • In men, hCG is utilized to assist in treating delayed puberty, undescended testes, or oligospermia (low sperm count).
  • It is administered as an injection into a muscle or subcutaneously (under the skin).
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms during treatment:
    • Severe pelvic pain
    • Nausea
    • Vomiting
    • Diarrhea
    • Sudden weight gain
    • Trouble breathing
    • Decreased or no urination
  • These symptoms could indicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
  • If your ovaries are overstimulated, you should refrain from sexual intercourse and use barrier contraception for at least four days.
