Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after implantation, designed to maintain progesterone production and support early pregnancy. Known as the "pregnancy hormone," it is measured in blood or urine tests to confirm pregnancy, detect abnormalities, and, in medical contexts, aid fertility treatments, treat undescended testicles, and diagnose specific tumors
