Patient's question:
A woman is 28 years old this year. My period has been delayed for two days and hasn't come yet. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend before, and I'm feeling very upset about the possibility of being pregnant. I would like to know how long after pregnancy can a pregnancy test kit detect it?Doctor's answer:
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) begins to be excreted on the 6th day after fertilization, and it can be detected in the serum and urine of pregnant women on the 7th day after fertilization. Therefore, according to your situation, you can generally use a pregnancy test stick to detect pregnancy 10 days after intercourse. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase daily exercise to enhance their immunity.
