Can a pregnancy test detect it if the period is delayed by one day?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can a pregnancy test detect it if the period is delayed by one day?

Doctor's answer:

It's recommended that you wait for a few days, or even a week, to see if your period comes. If it's delayed by more than a week, it's a good idea to visit a hospital for a check-up. However, generally one week to ten days after intercourse, a pregnancy test can also detect whether you're pregnant. But the most accurate method is to have a blood HCG test at the hospital to confirm pregnancy. Alternatively, you can do a urine HCG test or an ultrasound after some time has passed.
