Patient's question:
I am 31 years old, married for three years, and still haven't been pregnant. Also, I haven't taken any contraceptive measures. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. Please ask: Is it necessary to fast before the pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
Whether you decide to test hCG levels through a urine test or have an ultrasound to carefully observe the presence of a gestational sac, you do not need to fast. Typically, if you have blood drawn in the morning, you can view the test report in the afternoon. If you choose to have an ultrasound, you can not only carefully observe the size of the gestational sac but also examine its implantation site. Finally, it is important to develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance the patient's immunity.
