Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Can a pregnancy test be used after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
No, early pregnancy test strips have a certain degree of error, and they may not show results if the time is too short. When testing, you can also check if the test strip has expired and follow the measurement instructions. It is recommended to go to the hospital 14 days after intercourse to have blood drawn for HCG testing to confirm pregnancy. Results are usually available within 40 minutes. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
