How long after a missed period can pregnancy be detected?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, is it only after menstruation that you can know if you are pregnant?
, The earliest pregnancy test strip can detect pregnancy within how many days after menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

After sexual intercourse, you can have a blood HCG test at the hospital about ten days later to preliminarily determine if you are pregnant. Pregnancy tests are generally not clinically meaningful until about a week after your period is delayed. If your period is delayed by more than a week, it could be a sign of pregnancy, and you should still get checked. If you confirm pregnancy, pay attention to your diet and nutrition. During pregnancy, eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Make sure to attend prenatal check-ups to ensure the health of the fetus. It's important to stay relaxed.
