hMG

Meaning

hMG, which stands for Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, is a clinical pharmaceutical preparation containing a mixture of the gonadotropin hormones, specifically Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). This agent is primarily used in reproductive endocrinology to directly stimulate gonadal function, promoting ovarian follicle development in women undergoing fertility treatments or inducing spermatogenesis in men with certain forms of hypogonadism. It is a critical component of assisted reproductive technology, serving to bypass deficiencies in endogenous pituitary hormone secretion.
