A member asked:

Current re prescribed hcg for oligospermia. 1st sperm count-1mil 2nd sa only 7 all dead except 1. fsh elevated lh testosterone normal will hcg work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HCG for oligospermia: It is likely that you have a failure of the production of sperm from the testes. It is unlikely that hCG will increase your count. I suggest that you have a consultation with an infertility urologist. He/she will recommend a testicular bx to assess your sperm production. You will probably need IVF with ICSI (intracytoplastic sperm injection) to fertilize eggs, and obtain a pregnancy.
