Hcg-- are there other causes where it's produced without being pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tumors: Hcg is mainly a pregnancy hormone. At times certain tumors (neoplasms) can cause its release. These are either ovarian or uterine. For example, choriocarcinoma is a placental type of tumor that produced hcg.
