Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after intercourse can I use a pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, implantation of the fertilized egg takes 6-8 days. If intercourse occurs during the ovulation period, you can go to the hospital about 7 days after your period to have blood tests and an ultrasound to accurately determine if you are pregnant. Early pregnancy tests can be performed about 9-11 days after the event to confirm pregnancy.Generally, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse during the first, second, and third months of pregnancy. This is because the embryo is in the developmental stage, and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall of the mother is not yet firm. If sexual intercourse occurs, improper movements or accidental excitement could cause uterine contractions, potentially leading to placental detachment and miscarriage.
During the second trimester (months 4, 5, and 6), sexual intercourse is generally permissible, but it is important to avoid positions that put pressure on the abdomen of the pregnant woman. Intercourse should be moderate and methods may need to be adjusted. Movements should not be rough.
