Patient's question:
A woman is 29 years old this year. My period has been delayed for two days and hasn't arrived yet. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend before, and I am feeling very upset about the possibility of being pregnant. I would like to know how long after conception can pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
If a woman's menstrual cycle has always been regular, it's possible she could be pregnant. Generally, a pregnancy test can detect if she is pregnant about seven to ten days after intercourse. The longer the time after intercourse, the more accurate the test. If you're still not sure, you can go to a regular hospital for a check-up. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity.
