Does the HCG level sometimes decrease in viable embryos?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does HCG sometimes decrease when the embryo is viable?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, prenatal examinations are mainly accurate through ultrasound tests. In the middle and later stages of pregnancy, the fetal heartbeat can also be listened to to determine if the fetus is normal. Elevated prolactin is a dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, and can also be caused by diseases such as primary hypothyroidism, idiopathic amenorrhea and galactorrhea syndrome, primary hyperthyroidism, kidney insufficiency, and bronchial cancer. It is recommended to identify the cause and treat accordingly.
