There are many professional terms in medicine that only doctors can understand. If patients want to understand the meaning of certain professional terms, they also need to consult a doctor. It is best for doctors to translate these specialized terms into simple and easy to understand common phrases so that patients can understand. What does that person mean by chorionic gonadotropin?
Many women preparing for pregnancy often hear the term human chorionic gonadotropin because it is an important substance for detecting whether a woman is pregnant. In fact, HCG, also known as HCG, is a hormone in the female body. In fact, human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein molecule secreted by cells in the placental trophoblast layer. The content in the body of pregnant women is very high.
Women who are not pregnant also have a certain amount of human chorionic gonadotropin in their bodies, but in the absence of pregnancy, its level is very low, not exceeding 0-7mIU/ml. Once the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in a woman's body exceeds 10mIU/ml, it is highly likely that she is pregnant.
At six days after pregnancy, the body begins to secrete human chorionic gonadotropin, which can be detected in the urine and serum of pregnant women on the seventh day. Therefore, it is also an important indicator for detecting whether a woman is pregnant, such as early pregnancy test strips and blood tests based on the principle of human chorionic gonadotropin.
