What is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin HCG?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone found in both men and women. During pregnancy, women produce a large amount of HCG which has an important role during the pregnancy. HCG is similar in structure and function to another hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) which is also secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Although LH and HCG mimic each other’s function and even share the same receptor, their physiologic roles are unique. In men, LH contributes to the process that stimulates testosterone production in the testes.

HCG is prescribed to treat symptoms of hypogonadism, testicular atrophy, and sperm production. HCG is most popular for its ability to maintain testicular function when prescribed alongside testosterone therapy.
