Patient's question:
The menstruation this month has been delayed for several days. I'm wondering if I might be pregnant and want to get an early pregnancy test. How much does it cost?Doctor's answer:
If your period is delayed, you can buy early pregnancy test strips from a pharmacy to test yourself for about two or three yuan. You can also go to the hospital to do a urine pregnancy test, and the cost at this time is usually around 8 to 15 yuan. If pregnancy is confirmed at this time, you can have a detailed blood hCG check, and the cost is usually around 70 yuan. If the menstrual period has been less than 45 days, you can directly have an abdominal color ultrasound or a transvaginal ultrasound examination. The cost of an abdominal ultrasound is usually around 80 to 90 yuan, while the cost of a transvaginal ultrasound examination is around 50 to 60 yuan. Generally, blood is drawn in the morning and results can be obtained in the afternoon. In some large hospitals, results can be available within two hours.
