Causes of elevated human chorionic gonadotropin

Let me introduce to you the reasons for increased human chorionic gonadotropin.

The examination of human chorionic gonadotropin is of great significance for the diagnosis of early pregnancy, and has certain value in the diagnosis, differentiation and course observation of pregnancy-related diseases, trophoblastic tumors and other diseases. The following is my introduction to the causes of increased human chorionic gonadotropin

1. Generally speaking, high human chorionic gonadotropin means pregnancy. The β-HCG radioimmunoassay value of a normal person is less than 3.1. If it exceeds 5, you can consider the possibility of conception. If it exceeds 10, you can basically confirm pregnancy. I don’t know what your blood HCG value is? How many days does menstruation last? If you have bleeding, consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Suggestions: It is recommended to test blood HCG every other day. If the HCG value doubles, it is not an ectopic pregnancy. Otherwise, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is relatively high.

Second, endocrine diseases such as pituitary diseases, hyperthyroidism, and gynecological diseases such as ovarian cysts and uterine cancer can also increase levels. Suggestions: Ovulation period may also cause fever and increased human chorionic gonadotropin. It is recommended to have regular checkups to rule out psychological factors.

Third, regarding the issue of human chorionic gonadotropin, this hormone will only increase in a normal person when she is pregnant. If the HCG level is high even though she is not pregnant, it indicates the possibility of a reproductive system tumor or a hydatidiform mole or other disease. Because high alpha-fetoprotein levels may indicate a tumor, doctors have to take all of this into consideration. If the HCG level is still normal after the test and no other problems are found, it is recommended to recheck the alpha-fetoprotein after a while to see if it is an occasional increase and can recover on its own.

Fourth, it is possible that the child’s development is abnormal, and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy needs to be considered. You can check again. You can do a B-ultrasound examination and avoid having sex to avoid miscarriage.

Regarding the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin, this hormone will only increase in a normal person when she is pregnant. If you are not pregnant but the HCG level is also high, it indicates that you may have a tumor in the reproductive system or a disease such as hydatidiform mole. The above is my answer to the reasons for increased human chorionic gonadotropin. If you feel unwell, please go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. I wish you good health.
