Patient's question:
A woman is 30 years old this year and has no symptoms, just that her menstrual period has been delayed for 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:
Around 10 days after conception, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) can be detected in the urine, so pregnancy can be confirmed around 10 days after conception. If hCG is not detected in a urine test, it can be measured through a blood test. Around 45 days after a missed period, an ultrasound can reveal the presence of an embryo or fetal heartbeat. Therefore, it is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination at that time.Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance their immunity.
