Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, after getting pregnant, she felt uncomfortable, but this condition has not improved. She wants to do a systematic check at the hospital to see. How many days can pregnancy be tested?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is possible to test whether a woman is pregnant 14 days after cohabitation, as hCG will only be present in the pregnant woman's urine after the fertilized egg implants. Pregnancy test strips change color based on the presence of hCG in the urine, and the combination and implantation of the fertilized egg take approximately 14 days. You can take a morning urine sample on the 14th day after sexual intercourse for pregnancy testing.Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
