Patient's question:
Menstruation on the 25th, cycle is 26 days, this time it hasn't come yet, I want to go to the hospital to check it. Can an ultrasound be done now? If not, what method should be used? Can the result be known at the time?Doctor's answer:
Generally, you can use a pregnancy test strip to test, because after a woman becomes pregnant, the body secretes a special hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The pregnancy test strip can determine whether she is pregnant by testing this hormone, and its accuracy is not low. If you plan to go to the hospital for a check-up, you can have an ultrasound to see if there is an embryo in the uterus. This result is generally more intuitive, and if you are pregnant, it can also determine whether the fetus is inside the uterus. Ultrasounds can be performed now, so don't worry. Moreover, the results will be available immediately after the examination.
