Patient's question:
A 32-year-old woman, I have been married to my husband for six months, and we have been trying to conceive. These past few days, my period should have come, but it hasn't. I am questioning whether I might be pregnant. How soon can a pregnancy test detect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
A pregnancy test usually requires about 14 days after intercourse to detect pregnancy. It can be tested using urine. Under normal circumstances, human chorionic gonadotropin will reappear in the urine a few days after pregnancy, and this hormone can directly indicate whether pregnancy has occurred. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase regular exercise to enhance their immunity.
