Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin hormone
Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) is a hormonal substance obtained from urine of pregnant women. Its action is predominantly luteinizing.
HCG stimulates the release of eggs (ovulation) in women having treatment for infertility caused by problems with their natural ovulation.
HCG injection is used to stimulate follicules to mature and ovulation to occur in women who are having difficulties getting pregnant due to problems with their natural ovulation.
hCG hormone helps with low sperm count (oligospermia) treatment in men.
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin helps with delayed puberty in boys when boys do not develop secondary sexual characteristics at the normal age (12 – 14 years old) and with testicles which have not dropped in boys.
