Patient's question:
A woman is 28 years old this year. She has no symptoms, just that her menstrual period is delayed by some days and hasn't arrived yet, so she doesn't know if she is pregnant. She wants to know how long after pregnancy can it be detected?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after intercourse during the ovulation period, you can have your blood HCG checked at the hospital 10 days later to confirm if you are pregnant. It is recommended to wait for 2 days, then use a pregnancy test kit to test your morning urine. If it shows positive, it means you are pregnant; otherwise, you are not.Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase regular exercise to enhance their immunity. Additionally, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good attitude is very helpful for recovery from illness.
