Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone with various medical uses, particularly in reproductive health.

Uses of HCG

  1. Fertility Treatment:

    • Women: HCG is used to induce ovulation and support the early stages of pregnancy by stimulating the ovaries to release eggs. It is often part of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF)​ (Drugs.com)​​ (DrugBank)​.
    • Men: HCG helps increase sperm count by stimulating the production of testosterone and spermatogenesis in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (a condition characterized by low testosterone levels)​ (Drugs.com)​​ (DrugBank)​.

  2. Cryptorchidism in Children:

    • HCG is used to treat boys with cryptorchidism, a condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum​ (DrugBank)​.

  3. Hormone Therapy:

    • Testosterone: HCG is used in men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy to maintain fertility and testicular size​ (DrugBank)​.
    • Anabolic Steroid Users: Bodybuilders and athletes sometimes use HCG to prevent testicular atrophy and maintain testosterone production during or after anabolic steroid cycles​ (Drugs.com)​.

Administration and Dosage

  • Forms: HCG is typically administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. It is available in powder form that needs to be reconstituted with a liquid before injection​ (Drugs.com)​.
  • Dosage: The dosage varies based on the treatment purpose. For ovulation induction, the typical dose is 5,000 to 10,000 IU. For male hypogonadism, doses range from 1,000 to 4,000 IU, administered multiple times per week​ (DrugBank)​.
