HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
100% Online — No Office Visit Required
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) mimics LH in the body, stimulating the Leydig cells of the testes to maintain testosterone production and testicular size during TRT.
What Is HCG?
HCG is a hormone that mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH). When used alongside TRT, it signals the testes to maintain testosterone production and can help prevent testicular atrophy and preserve spermatogenesis.
What It May Help With
HCG is primarily used to maintain fertility and testicular function in men on exogenous testosterone. It may also help maintain more complete hormonal function.
Who May Be a Candidate
HCG is typically added to a TRT protocol for men who are concerned about fertility preservation or testicular atrophy. It requires separate evaluation and prescribing.

Not necessarily. HCG is recommended when fertility preservation is a priority or when a man is concerned about testicular atrophy. Your provider will discuss whether it makes sense for your protocol.
