Does the human chorionic gonadotropin injection have a role in preventing miscarriage?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone normally present in the body after pregnancy, and threatened miscarriage is associated with insufficient levels of this hormone. Using 5000 units of hCG for the purpose of preventing miscarriage has little impact on the body, and its side effects are similar to those of early pregnancy symptoms.
