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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can pregnancy be detected if menstruation hasn't come for a long time?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation does not arrive within 7-10 days, pregnancy should be considered. The earliest blood test for HCG is recommended one week after sexual intercourse to determine if pregnant. Pregnancy test strips are accurate only 14 days after sexual intercourse. Ultrasound can detect a gestational sac after 6 weeks of pregnancy. Morning sickness typically appears around 40 days after a missed period. This is a symptom caused by kidney deficiency, and it can be regulated by taking Chinese patent medicines such as Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan and Xiao Yao Wan. A diet that is easy to digest and absorb, moderate sexual activity, adequate rest, warmth, and avoiding harmful stimuli are recommended.
