How long after cohabitation can pregnancy be checked?

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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How long after intercourse can I take a pregnancy test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can use a pregnancy test kit 15 days after intercourse or 7 days after a delayed period to determine if you are pregnant. It is best to use morning urine for the test, as it has a higher concentration of HCG. Alternatively, you can visit the hospital 10 days after intercourse to have your blood HCG levels checked to confirm pregnancy.
After an abortion, pay attention to nutrition and consume more high-protein, easily digestible foods. Avoid foods such as chili peppers, raw ginger, raw garlic, strong tea, and coffee. Also avoid hot foods like lamb, beef, dog meat, and seafood.
