Patient's question:
Irregular menstrual cycle, delayed by more than ten days this month, bought an early pregnancy test, the result is pregnant. What is an early pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
The method of using early pregnancy test strips for early pregnancy testing is the simplest, fastest, and most convenient way to speculate whether pregnancy may occur. Its mechanism is to qualitatively test human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine. If a colored line appears again in the test window when urine is dropped on the test strip, and if a distinct color reappears in the test area, it indicates a possible recurrence of pregnancy. HCG typically appears in urine a few days after the fertilized egg implants and must exceed a certain amount to be detectable. Therefore, for women with regular menstrual cycles, HCG can be detected in the urine only after the menstrual period is delayed. For women with abnormal menopause, HCG may not be detectable until about 44 days after the cessation of menstruation.
