In what dosages is HCG administered?
The dosage of injections of hCG, prescribed for maintaining a pregnancy, can vary from 5 to 10 thousand IU. Selection of the amount of the drug is carried out every time, taking into account the content of the hormone in the blood of a pregnant woman. In addition, the follicle value is taken into account, too. A hCG prick can lead to the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
When is the administration of hCG usually prescribed?
The reasons for the appointment of hormone-containing drugs are quite a lot. In particular, an injection of hCG is often prescribed when stimulating ovulation. Therefore, the main indication for its use is infertility. In such situations, the evaluation of injected injection is carried out after 24-36 hours with ultrasound apparatus. As a rule, after the injection of hCG, the probability of conception increases several times.
What is the injection of this hormone for pregnancy?
With a sharp decrease in the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood of a pregnant woman, for further maintenance of pregnancy and in the presence of indications, injections of hCG are made. The lowered level of this hormone can be associated with early diagnosis. Therefore, before the appointment of hormone therapy, the pregnant woman is again analyzed to clarify the level of gonadotropin.
In those cases when the indicator differs significantly from the norm, which is calculated by the term of pregnancy, and less than more than 20%, the course of HCG treatment is mandatory. As a rule, this hormone level can indicate such violations as:
- frozen pregnancy;
- ectopic pregnancy;
- chronic placental insufficiency;
- threat of spontaneous abortion.
Thus, every pregnant woman should know when and why she is injected with hCG. It is not worth worrying about, because in most cases, thanks to these procedures, it is possible to keep and tolerate a healthy baby. And the sooner a violation is revealed, requiring medical intervention, the greater the likelihood of a successful outcome.
