Test Overview & Methodology

The Testosterone Stimulation by HCG Test assesses Leydig cell capacity by quantifying serum testosterone levels before and 72 hours after an intramuscular injection of 5000 IU HCG. This highly sensitive assay, using chemiluminescent immunoassay with SI-traceable calibration, provides clear distinction between testicular failure (primary hypogonadism) and pituitary/hypothalamic dysfunction (secondary hypogonadism).

Sample collection requires two blood samples: a baseline fasting sample on Day 1, immediately followed by HCG injection, then a second sample exactly 72 hours later. Both samples must be refrigerated or frozen, clearly marked with time and date, and submitted together. Overnight fasting is recommended for the baseline draw; avoid hormone supplements (testosterone, DHEA, estrogen) for 48 hours prior if medically safe after consulting your physician.

Feature	Our Test	Closest Alternative

Methodology	Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA) – DHA/MOHAP standardized	ELISA or RIA; may not meet latest DHA quality standards
Speed	Result within 1 working day after receipt of both samples	24–72 hours typical after second sample

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“As a General Practitioner with extensive experience in hormone assessments, I advise that the Testosterone Stimulation by HCG test is a powerful diagnostic tool but must be interpreted alongside a comprehensive clinical evaluation including symptoms, physical findings, and other hormonal profiles. Never self-diagnose or alter hormone therapies based solely on results; always consult your physician for a tailored management plan.”

Medication Advisory

⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medications (including hormone therapies) without consulting your doctor. Abrupt changes can cause health risks. Always follow your physician’s guidance.

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Known hypersensitivity to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).
History of prostate or breast cancer (in males or females).
Pregnancy or lactation.
Active untreated pituitary tumor or thrombosis.
Red Flags: After HCG injection, seek immediate medical help if you experience sudden severe abdominal/pelvic pain, swelling, shortness of breath, or signs of anaphylaxis (rash, wheezing, swelling of lips/tongue).

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What is the Testosterone Stimulation by HCG test used for?

Quick Answer: This test differentiates between primary hypogonadism (testicular failure) and secondary hypogonadism (pituitary/hypothalamic dysfunction) by measuring the rise in testosterone after HCG stimulation over 72 hours. It helps guide appropriate hormone replacement therapy.

2. How should I prepare for this test?

Quick Answer: You must fast overnight before the baseline blood draw on Day 1; avoid hormone supplements (testosterone, DHEA, estrogen) for 48 hours prior, if medically safe after consulting your doctor. Inform your physician about any medications you are taking.

3. What do abnormal results mean?

Quick Answer: An insufficient rise in testosterone after HCG suggests primary hypogonadism (testicular issue), while a normal rise indicates secondary hypogonadism (pituitary/hypothalamus problem). Your doctor will interpret the specific numbers in the context of your health and may recommend further evaluation.

4. Is the HCG injection safe?

Quick Answer: HCG is generally well-tolerated when administered by trained medical professionals. Common side effects include mild injection site pain or headache. Serious allergic reactions are rare. The injection is given at our facility under medical supervision. Inform your doctor about any allergies or medical conditions.
