Using HCG with Testosterone for Men with Low T or Erectile Dysfunction

HCG can help increase low testosterone levels, treat male  infertility, and increase gonad size. Men who take Testosterone or Androgen in the form of anabolic steroids may also sometimes use HCG injections to prevent or reverse some of the side effects cause by androgen hormone steroids, such as testicle shrinkage and aromatization or the conversion of excess testosterone to estrogen in the body.

HCG  therapy can help improve fertility and sexual function.  HCG helps increase a man's natural sex hormone production which can work to to reduce symptoms erectile dysfunction. Men who are experiencing ED symptoms caused by lower than normal testosterone levels, may be prescribed combination ED Therapy using testosterone, TriMix ED Medication and HCG injections. 

Low T or Andropause commonly occurs as men age and gradually start producing less and less testosterone naturally. Symptoms of low T include low energy, rapid weight gain, increased body fat, low or lost libido, loss of muscle tone and bone mass.  A blood test is usually used to diagnose Low T or a testosterone hormone deficiency before a treatment using androgen supplementation will be considered.


HCG therapy used with testosterone therapy is particularly helpful to help men experiencing infertility due to low sperm count or potency. Fertility treatments for men may also include Human Growth Hormone Treatment which also helps men boost sperm potency.

Medial studies show positive indications for the use of human chorionic gonadotropic hormone for the management of infertility in hypogonadal men.  For andropausal men, men taking anabolic steroids or testosterone supplementation, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) therapy can help re-establish or maintain spermatogenesis in hypogonadal men.

HCG with Human Growth Hormone Therapy.

HGH is a complementary hormone to testosterone. While sufficient testosterone levels are required for good sexual health and function, HGH also plays a key role in men to help increase sexual desire, prolong sexual activity and enhance sperm potency.  Read more about HGH Therapy for Men online.

Does HCG help with Testosterone Side Effects?

Testosterone Therapy with HCG helps men to prevent side effects of TRT and steroid use, including gynecomastia, testicular shrinkage and atrophy. When a man enrolls in a medically-supervised Testosterone Program, HCG and Estrogen Modulators should be a part of the medical protocol. Gynecomastia can occur due to increased estrogen production when men are on TRT or taking steroids. Since HCG also increases androgen levels, careful monitoring and estrogen hormone management should be part of any male hormone replacement program. 

How HCG works with Testosterone in Men.

HCG with Testosterone, acts in concert with LH (Luteinizing Hormone) to stimulate the testes specialized Leydig cells and LH receptors. If too much testosterone circulates in the blood stream, estrogen production will exceed normal levels causing estrogen dominance symptoms including gynecomastia and ED. Read more about taking anti-estrogens oraromatase inhibitors such as Arimidex (anastrozole) tablets for oral administration containing a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, Clomephine (Clomid), Nolvadex, (Tamoxifen), and other estrogen modulators for male HRT.

Can HCG help increase testosterone levels?

HCG can help maintain and even increase intratesticular testosterone levels. A medical study in men who received TRT and 500 IU of hCG every other day showed an increase in intratesticular testosterone by 26%. Co-administering low dose HCG while undergoing testosterone supplementation can help maintain intratesticular testosterone in men during TRT. It was later shown that not only is intratesticular testosterone increased with co-administration of HCG but spermatogenesis (sperm production) is preserved as well which is important for men seeking to use HCG with Testosterone.

When is HCG prescribed?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Treatment, or HCG injections therapy can help preserve spermatogenesis in men using Testosterone Replacement for hypogonadism treated with intramuscular or transdermal testosterone therapy in the form of creams, gels, pellets or patches.

Excessive testosterone and anabolic steroid use can impair spermatogenesis (sperm production) by creating negative feedback for the production of testosterone on both the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This reduces the secretion of GnRH and LH (Luteinizing hormone) which effectively shuts down the production of testosterone by specialized Leydig cells, which then reduces intratesticular testosterone levels. The decline in sperm production caused by a drop of intratesticular testosterone can occur within 10 weeks of starting TRT.  

FSH vs LH vs HCG

How does it work to increase testosterone?

Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are called gonadotropins because they stimulate the testes to make testosterone. FSH causes the specialized Sertoli cells of the testes which help develop sperm cells to begin the process of spermatogenesis in the testes. LH triggers the production of testosterone from the Leydig cells in the testis.  Luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) act on the same hormone receptors. In men, HCG acts the same as luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulating the Leydig cells in the testicles which results in increased production of natural testosterone. LH also stimulates sperm production within structures in the testicles called seminiferous tubules which is why HCG may also be prescribed as a male fertility treatment.

Is HCG effective for ED?

Erectile Dysfunction in older men is almost always caused by cardiovascular problems or low blood flow to the penile area. While low testosterone can cause ED, natural aging, poor lifestyle, alcohol or prescription drugs are usually the principal cause. When sexual dysfunction is a result of these other conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension) or poor blood flow a penile ED injection therapy may be prescribed as opposed to testosterone or HCG. Your physician can help guide you and if needed, write a prescription for you to buy TriMix Injections or Caverject injections which can be very effective at treating even severe ED symptoms.
