Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What does HCGB mean in the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Free floating human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a human chorionic gonadotropin synthesized by placental cells, consisting of two subunits: the α and β subunits. hCG exists in two forms: intact hCG and the separate β-chain. Both forms of hCG are active, but only the hCG in the form of the β-chain is the specific molecule measured. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
