1. Promotion of Ovulation

In terms of structure and function, HCG is quite similar to luteinizing hormone.
It accelerates the ultimate maturation and release of the ovum, making it an important drug in:

• Ovulation Induction
• Treatment of ovulation problems (such as PCOS)
• Improving IVF success rates through controlled ovulation.

2. Maintaining an Early Pregnancy.

During early pregnancy, HCG nourishes the corpus luteum, providing enough progesterone production.
 

This helps:

• Prepare your uterus for embryo implantation.
• Maintain an early pregnancy.
• Stabilize the uterine environment to promote fetal development.

3. Male Reproductive Function.

In males, HCG mimics LH, increasing testosterone release and promoting spermatogenesis.
It is beneficial in the following cases:

• Low testosterone.
• Low sperm count or poor sperm quality.
• Certain types of male infertility

1. Treatment of female infertility.

HCG is commonly used for:

• I nduce ovulation in women who are unable to ovulate naturally
• Treat reproductive hormonal abnormalities.
• Increase conception success when coupled with FSH or other fertility medications.

2. Assisted Reproductive Technology (IVF, ICSI, IUI).

In ART programs, HCG is given to:

• Initiate ultimate follicle maturation.
• Ensure timely egg retrieval.
• Improve embryo development results.

Its predictable activity makes it a key component in IVF cycles.

3. Male Infertility Treatment

HCG is used to address disorders caused by inadequate testosterone production, which can help:

•  
• Stimulate testicular testosterone synthesis.
• Promote sperm production.
• Improve the total sperm parameters.

4. Additional Medical Uses

HCG can also be administered for:

• Delayed sexual development in teenagers
• Hormonal de ficits impair gondal development.
• Certain endocrine diseases.
