How long after sexual intercourse can pregnancy be detected?

Patient's question:

How long after sexual activity can pregnancy be detected? The earliest number of days when a pregnancy test can be used to detect pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Early pregnancy tests can be performed first with a urine test and then with an ultrasound examination after a delay of ten days in menstruation. Use early pregnancy test strips to test morning urine, and check the results after 15 minutes. If there is one red line, it means you are not pregnant. If there are two red lines of the same color depth, it means you are pregnant. If there is one deep and one light red line, it indicates a possible pregnancy, and you need to test again after 2 days until you get one red line or two red lines of the same color depth. It is recommended to have a hospital pregnancy test for confirmation if necessary.
