Can a 6-day early pregnancy test be used to detect pregnancy?

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. Can a pregnancy test taken 6 days after intercourse detect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to your description, you became pregnant between the day after the 26th and February 8th. It is impossible to get pregnant on February 11th, and it is not possible to detect pregnancy with a pregnancy test more than 6 days after intercourse.
After LEEP surgery, you should mainly pay attention to:
1. Avoiding sexual activity for 1–2 months.
2. Avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
3. Resting and reducing strenuous activity.
4. Maintaining external genital hygiene and can perform external cleaning, but vaginal medication is prohibited.
Generally, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up 3–7 days after your period ends.
For your condition, it is recommended not to use suppositories after surgery to avoid irritating the wound and affecting healing.
