Many women have heard of HCG levels, but few would specifically check their HCG levels before pregnancy. In fact, if a woman has abnormal levels of HCG in her body before pregnancy, it can also affect her physical health. Therefore, women should also be aware of their physical condition in their daily lives. So, is the HCG value zero when a woman is not pregnant?
This idea is incorrect. Generally, when a woman is not pregnant, her HCG value will not exceed around 10, but this does not mean that her HCG value in the body is 0. Therefore, as long as a woman confirms that her HCG value is within the prescribed range after going to the hospital for examination, she does not need to worry too much. However, after pregnancy, the HCG level in a woman's body will double, especially around eight weeks of pregnancy, when the HCG level reaches its peak.
If a woman's HCG value does not double after pregnancy, it indicates abnormal embryonic development and requires further treatment to prevent giving birth to an unhealthy baby. Women do not need to rely too much on HCG values, as they are only one of the reference indicators for female pregnancy and may not necessarily explain anything. After a woman becomes pregnant, the results of the examination need to be mutually confirmed in order to obtain the true development of the embryo.
However, HCG is one of the hormones in the human body and also has its functional role. It can mainly promote the development of the human gonads and the secretion of male hormones. It can also promote the development of secondary sexual characteristics in the human body, which is also important for the human body. So, whether pregnant or not, it is best for women's HCG values to be within the normal range, which is beneficial for their physical health.
