Patient's question:
Other: Hello. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant right now. If I were pregnant for three months, but, it seems that my stomach hasn't protruded. Only at night when I go to the bathroom and come back to bed, I touch my stomach, and the lower abdomen pops out a hard thing that I don't know what it is. It disappears after pressing for a while. What is that??? If I really am pregnant, can a pregnancy test detect it???Doctor's answer:
You can use a test strip to test your morning urine 14 days after sexual intercourse. Test strips from reputable manufacturers are generally quite accurate. If you follow the instructions for using the test strips correctly, the accuracy rate is over 98%. However, it is only effective to test 14 days after sexual intercourse. It is best to do a pregnancy self-test two weeks after your period is delayed. Generally, the most accurate results are obtained using the first urine of the morning. In your case, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to determine if you are pregnant, which is a relatively accurate test. Two red lines appearing on the test paper indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy. Additionally, you can have a blood HCG test at the hospital 10 days after sexual intercourse, which is the most accurate method for checking pregnancy.
