Which is more accurate, an early pregnancy test paper or a pregnancy test stick?

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. Could you please tell me which is more accurate between early pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, early pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks should have the same testing principles, which are qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine. As long as the pregnancy test sticks and test strips are of high quality and within their validity period, they are relatively accurate. When doing pregnancy self-testing at home, if you use the test strips or sticks strictly according to the instructions, the accuracy rate can be close to 100%. Although pregnancy test sticks or test strips can help determine pregnancy to some extent
