Does Taking Hcg Shut Down The Body’S Natural Production Of Lh(Leutenising Hormone)In Men

[kaththisuresh]

I’ve heard people say they have taken hcg to prevent their balls from shutting down and atrophying after testosterone use.Can taking hcg safely bring t levels back to normal or will it affect natural lh production in the body?Also is hcg a better alternative to increase natural testosterone levels than trt(testosterone replacement therapy)?

A study by Lee and Rasamy, published in 2018 reached the following conclusions. (It's the final sentence which is most relevant to your question:
"As the age of men with hypogonadism continues to decrease and the age of paternity continues to increase more men will need to treatment for hypogonadism while maintaining fertility. hCG is a safe and efficacious alternative or adjunct to TRT in men desiring to preserve fertility while treating their hypogonadism. hCG can also be used help restore spermatogenesis in men hypogonadal hypogonadism or steroid induced impairment of spermatogenesis".

Morgentaler, in a report published in September of that year, makes reference to the advantages and shortcomings of hCG treatment, in comparison to conventional TRT, in paragraphs 3 and 4 here:

Those links suggest that hCG treatment might be worthy of consideration but only under full medical supervision.

PP is referring to the Swiss doctor, Paul Niehans, who achieved celebrity status through injecting famous clients (allegedly including both the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, as well as most definitely including Pope Pius XII) with cells from the pituitary glands of monkeys on the basis that to do so would prolong their lives. (The cells would have been immediately rejected by the bodies of his patients and could therefore have had no beneficial effects whatsoever).

I assume that PP's point is that messing around with the human body (especially when one is not even qualified to do so) is most definitely not a good idea!
