Introduction
The Testosterone Stimulation by HCG Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate the function of the endocrine system, specifically in relation to testosterone production. This test is particularly important for individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, such as low libido, fatigue, or infertility. By measuring testosterone levels before and after the administration of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into a patient’s hormonal health.
