Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion a while ago. Now she has very little menstrual blood, especially this month. Two days ago, she said it was like her period, but it wasn't really like it. She said there was just a little redness down there. Today, I took a test, and it was weak positive. I took the test twice, and the results were the same. We had sex two or three times last month, but I always used a condom and checked if it was good each time. But now it's weak positive, and I'm a bit confused. I don't know if she really had her period two days ago. If she did, is the test result accurate now?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it won't be the case. It is recommended to use a pregnancy test strip to self-examine around 14 days after sexual activity. If the test strip shows two lines, it means you are pregnant. If it shows one line, it means you are not pregnant. If there are two lines, one is clearly visible while the other is faint, it indicates a weak positive result. There are two possible reasons for a weak positive result: either you are pregnant or you have an inflammation. Similarly, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which has a very high accuracy rate. Gynecological diseases are a common type of gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene.
