Question: Low FSH and LH hormones after HCG injections male
Low FSH and LH hormones after HCG injections male
Brief Answer:
About HCG and hormone level;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
HCG is approved to be used in males to treat infertility as HCG acts like LH, stimulating testosterone and sperm production.
Taking HCG from outside, decreases the LH level, so this is excpected especially after the second shot.
You didn't mention the dose of HCG and since when have you been taking it. But do not worry if you have been taking it for nore than 1 time as it is excpected.

Brief Answer:
About testosterone insufficiency;
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
The fact that testosterone level didn't increase after stimulation with HCG means that the pathology is not in the pituitary, but testicular cells are not able to produce testosterone even after stimulation with LHI. So, I would recommend testicular biopsy rather than pituitary MRI to look into it in details.
However, your treating physician knows your situation better and will explain to you the further steps.
Let me know if I can assist you further...
