Can you test for pregnancy a few days before your period?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if pregnancy can be detected a few days before menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, if your period is delayed by a week and hasn't arrived, you can use a pregnancy test to check for pregnancy. Additionally, you can also go to the hospital 10 days after intercourse to check hCG to see if you are pregnant. It is usually not a problem. If you have vulvitis, you can apply Daktarin cream to the vulva. The treatment course is usually 10-14 days, and after stopping the medication for 7 days, you should have a follow-up. Once the symptoms disappear after 2 weeks, you should have a third check for, and treatment can be completed upon recovery. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, vaginal procedures should be avoided to prevent intrauterine infection. I hope this helps, and wish you a speedy recovery!
