What is hCG? – A Guide for Vancouver Men
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone best known for its role in pregnancy, but it also has significant benefits for men—particularly for those undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) or dealing with fertility issues. In men, hCG mimics Luteinizing Hormone (LH), a crucial hormone responsible for stimulating the testes to produce testosterone and sperm.
How Does hCG Work in Men?
hCG binds to specialized receptors in the Leydig cells of the testes, triggering natural testosterone production. This is essential for maintaining hormonal balance, reproductive health, and overall well-being. Since TRT can suppress the body’s ability to produce its own testosterone, hCG is often used to counteract this effect and ensure that the testes continue functioning properly.
Why is hCG Prescribed?
For men in Vancouver looking to optimize testosterone levels and reproductive health, hCG is commonly prescribed for three key reasons:
- Supporting Testosterone Therapy (TRT) – Prevents testicular shrinkage and helps sustain intrinsic testosterone production while undergoing TRT.
- Boosting Fertility – Stimulates sperm production in men facing low sperm count or hypogonadism.
- Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT) – Aids in restoring natural testosterone levels after using anabolic steroids or other hormone-altering treatments.
