Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) describes infertility as a disability for couples in childbirth toattain pregnancy within 12 months of daily sexual intercourse. Infertility affects 13–20 per cent of couplesworldwide, regardless of race or ethnicity. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), also known as the“pregnancy hormone,” plays a significant role in human reproduction. The present study was conductedin the departments of biochemistry and dept. of obstetrics and gynaecology. The study was conducted ontwo groups of 40 infertile Females and 40 healthy controls. Blood sample was collected for the estimationof prolactin and hCG was assessed by dry chemistry analyzer. Serum prolactin levels in infertile females is33.96±11.46 and hCG levels was86.38±12.45 which was higher in infertile female as compare to healthycontrol with a p value of<0.05. Present study concludes that hyperprolactinemia is a major contributinghormonal factor in infertility among infertile women and, as such, prolactin and hCG should be measuredin infertile women.
