Patient's question:
A 45-year-old woman knows she has discomfort in her body, but she hasn't gone to see a doctor. Please ask: How many days after coitus can pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
Generally, about 15 days after intercourse, which is around 20 days after the last menstrual period, pregnancy can be detected through urine tests and pregnancy test sticks. If blood tests for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are used, pregnancy can be detected 7-9 days after intercourse, or around two weeks after the last menstrual period. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
