How long after a delayed period can pregnancy be detected?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long after a delayed period can pregnancy be detected?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, if there is cohabitation, a blood HCG test is generally recommended to determine pregnancy one week after sexual activity. Pregnancy test strips are only accurate 14 days after sexual activity. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
