Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG) is a medication that is used in fertility treatments. It is a combination of two hormones: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These hormones are naturally produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and play a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
hMG works by stimulating the development and maturation of ovarian follicles, which contain the eggs. FSH helps to stimulate the growth of multiple follicles, while LH triggers the final maturation and release of the eggs from the follicles (ovulation). By administering hMG, it helps to enhance the production of eggs in women who have difficulty ovulating or have hormonal imbalances.
hMG is typically given via injection and the dosage is carefully monitored by a healthcare professional. It is commonly used in fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) to increase the chances of successful ovulation and pregnancy.
