Benefits of Menotech Injection
In Treatment of Female infertility
Menotech Injection helps in the normal development of an egg in a woman's ovary (female reproductive organ) and stimulates the release of a healthy, matured egg. This helps to treat infertility in women and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.
In Treatment of Male hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism is the improper functioning of reproductive organs, that is, testes in males, which causes failure to produce sex hormones required for fertility. Menotech Injection acts as the male sex hormone, testosterone, and therefore, improves sperm production in males. This can reduce infertility and helps to treat hypogonadism in males. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.

FAQs
What is Menotech Injection usually prescribed for?
Menotech Injection is prescribed to treat infertility in women. It helps women who have trouble releasing an egg (anovulation), including those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is also used for controlled ovarian stimulation in fertility treatments like IVF, ICSI, GIFT, or egg retrieval cycles.<br>
How do I know if Menotech Injection treatment is right for my fertility problem?
Doctors usually recommend Menotech Injection when simpler treatments (like clomiphene citrate) have not worked. Before starting, your doctor checks hormone levels, possible causes of infertility, and any underlying issues such as thyroid or adrenal problems to ensure hMG is safe and suitable for you.<br>
What important warnings should I know before starting Menotech Injection?
Menotech Injection requires close medical monitoring because it can overstimulate the ovaries in some people. Regular ultrasounds and blood tests help prevent complications. The first injection is usually given under medical supervision.<br>
Can Menotech Injection cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)?
Yes, Menotech Injection can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS is a serious condition where the ovaries become swollen, and fluid can build up in the abdomen or chest. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulty, or decreased urine output. Seek urgent medical care if these occur.<br>
Who should not use Menotech Injection?
Individuals should not use Menotech Injection if they have tumors of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, ovarian, uterine, or breast cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, ovarian cysts not linked to PCOS, primary ovarian failure, or if they are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will assess for any conditions that make treatment unsafe or ineffective.<br>
Can Menotech Injection increase the chances of multiple pregnancy (twins or more)?
Yes. Menotech Injection increases the growth of eggs, which raises the chance of twin or higher-order pregnancies. Your doctor monitors your ovarian response closely to minimize this risk.<br>
Are miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy risks higher with Menotech Injection?
Women undergoing fertility treatments, including Menotech Injection, may have a higher risk of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, especially if they have a history of fallopian tube problems. Regular follow-ups help detect complications early.<br>
Can Menotech Injection affect existing health conditions or hormones?
Yes. Before starting Menotech Injection, your doctor checks for conditions like hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, high prolactin, or any pituitary/hypothalamic tumors. These conditions must be managed before using hMG safely.<br>
Can Menotech Injection increase the risk of blood clots?
Women with risk factors such as obesity (BMI > 30), family history of clots, or clotting disorders may have a higher chance of venous or arterial blood clots during treatment. Discuss your risk profile with your doctor.<br>
Are there long-term risks with using Menotech Injection for fertility treatments?
A very small number of women who have undergone multiple infertility treatments, including Menotech Injection, have reported ovarian or reproductive system tumors. It is not clear whether these are caused by the medicines or by fertility challenges themselves. Monitoring and medical guidance reduce risks.<br>
Can Menotech Injection affect the results of doping tests?
Yes. Menotech Injection may give positive results on doping tests. Using this medicine without a medical need can be harmful.
What serious side effects of Menotech Injection should I watch out for?
Serious side effects of Menotech Injection may include severe abdominal pain or swelling, difficulty breathing, sudden weight gain, severe headaches, or vision changes, signs of blood clots (leg pain, chest pain, shortness of breath), and allergic reactions like rash, swelling, or trouble breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.<br>
