Early pregnancy test: Can pregnancy be detected several days after sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Please ask when pregnancy test strips can detect pregnancy after how many days of sexual activity. I should have my period today, but I haven't come. I'm very worried.

Doctor's answer:

Don't put too much pressure on yourself, or if the stress is too high, it can disrupt your endocrine system and cause irregular periods.
Advanced pregnancy test strips can detect results 12 hours after intercourse, but for accuracy, it's still better to wait for half a month. If it shows positive, it's usually quite reliable. Generally, doctors recommend that women with high-risk signs for prenatal check-ups maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
