hCG is clinically used both to induce ovulation and treat certain ovarian disorders in women. In men hCG is utilized to stimulate the testes in hypogonadal men (men who are not producing testosterone). It has also shown promise in the treatment of undescended testicles in young males.
In an indirect way via the anterior pituitary, hCG regulates menstration and facilitates conception, but it never virilizes a woman or feminizes a man. It neither makes men grow breasts nor does it interfere with their virility, though where this may be a deficient it may irmprove it. It never makes women grow a beard or develop a gruff voice.
