HCG (Pregnyl) Therapy
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. In medical settings, HCG—commonly available under the brand name Pregnyl—is used for a variety of therapeutic purposes beyond pregnancy care.
What Is HCG Used For?
1. Fertility Treatment (Women)
HCG is frequently prescribed to stimulate ovulation, often in combination with other fertility medications.
2. Cryptorchidism (Children)
In young boys, HCG may help treat cryptorchidism, a condition where the testicles fail to descend properly.
3. Low Testosterone Support (Men)
HCG can be used in men to support natural testosterone production, prevent testicular shrinkage, and help maintain sperm count—especially when used alongside testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
4. Pregnancy Testing
HCG is the hormone detected by most pregnancy tests due to its elevated levels in early pregnancy.
5. Weight Loss (Controversial)
While sometimes marketed in weight loss protocols, HCG is not FDA-approved for this purpose, and its effectiveness remains scientifically unproven in this context.
