Can medication in the vagina be detected, and is it pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I would like to ask, I have vaginal fire, and for these past few days, I have been using medication that can be inserted into the vagina for treatment. While using the medication, I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, and his sperm also entered my vagina. Now, I want to take a pregnancy test to see if I am pregnant. Because I am using medication inserted into the vagina every day, can this be tested to see if I am pregnant? (I forgot what the specific medication was.)

Doctor's answer:

A menstrual cycle delayed by 7 days or a pregnancy test taken 10 to 14 days after intercourse shows two red lines on the test paper, indicating a positive result, which means pregnancy. Additionally, 7 days after sexual activity, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test, which is the most accurate method for checking pregnancy. However, do not rely solely on early pregnancy test strips to determine if you are pregnant. The most reliable method is to promptly visit the hospital for a comprehensive examination, especially for those with weak positive results, so that measures can be taken as early as possible.
