Patient's question:
A 47-year-old woman knows she has discomfort in her body, but she hasn't gone to see a doctor. Please ask: Can pregnancy be detected one week after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it takes 10-14 days after coitus to test for pregnancy, as the implantation of the embryo typically occurs around day 11. Blood hCG tests are usually performed 10 days after coitus to confirm pregnancy, while pregnancy test strips usually require about two weeks for more accurate results.Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
