Patient's question:
A woman is 24 years old this year and has no symptoms, just that her menstrual period has been delayed for some days and has not arrived, so she doesn't know if she is pregnant. She wants to know how long after pregnancy can a pregnancy test be used to detect it?Doctor's answer:
After one week of sexual activity, a blood test for HCG can be performed to confirm pregnancy. Fourteen days after intercourse or one week after a delayed period, a pregnancy test can be used to check morning urine to confirm pregnancy. After 40 days of menopause, an ultrasound can be performed to confirm pregnancy. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations according to their own condition. Only in this way can they be treated symptomatically and recover quickly.
