Uses Ovunal SC 5000 injection
A lot of positive reviews indicate the efficacy of Ovunal SC injections in treating both male and female infertility.
The administration of this injection requires the close supervision of a qualified medical professional. It should not be taken on your own.
Female infertility
Ovunal 5000 IU SC Injections include a hormone that promotes ovulation, the process by which the egg is released, and aids in the development of an egg naturally in a woman's ovary (a female reproductive organ). This treatment helps infertile women become pregnant.
Male infertility
Men's sperm counts and Testosterone levels can be increased by Ovunal SC 5000 injection. As a result, this helps treat Male Hypogonadism and may reduce the risk of infertility.
Follow your doctor's instructions strictly to get the most benefit from your medication.
How it works
The injectable Ovunal SC 5000 IU is a form of Gonadotrophic hormone, which increases the production of sex hormones in both males and females.
It does this in males by promoting the production of androgens and helping with general puberty and sexual maturation in males.
In addition, it has been shown to hasten the process of testicular development in children and adolescents whose testicles have not yet descended.
The medication improves a woman's chances of becoming pregnant.
It helps her to carry the pregnancy to term by ensuring that she has an adequate supply of the female sex hormones Estrogen and Progesterone.
This, in turn, increases the likelihood of successfully conceiving and continuing the pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the use of Ovunal SC 5000?
Ovunal SC 5000 Injection is used with another hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to treat female infertility.
It treats delayed puberty, undescended testes, and Oligospermia in men (low sperm count). It is administered through injection into the muscle or beneath the skin.
When is the best time to conceive after HCG injection?
Most of the trials included in the analysis performed insemination 32-36 hours after HCG treatment. However, it appears that intercourse up to six days before ovulation gives healthy women the best chance of becoming pregnant.
Can HCG bring back fertility?
Gonadotrophin therapy (HCG/rFSH) is well tolerated and successfully increases testicular development, Spermatogenesis, and fertility. The availability of assisted reproduction (conception) techniques has increased success rates even in low sperm counts.
