Building bridges to better health.
Menstruation delayed more than 7 days can be used to test early pregnancy.
In general, women with regular menstrual cycles, if menstruation delayed more than 7 days, at this time using early pregnancy test paper detection, can more accurately detect whether pregnant. Because after pregnancy, the body will produce HCG, as pregnancy progresses, HCG levels gradually increase, to a certain time after the test paper can be detected. Too early use of test paper detection may appear false negative results. Because HCG levels in early pregnancy may be low enough to be sensitively detected by the test paper, even if pregnant, it may not be pregnant.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, if the test paper test shows positive, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, through blood testing HCG and ultrasound to further confirm the diagnosis. If the test paper test is negative, but menstruation is still delayed, you should also seek medical attention to rule out other reasons that may lead to delayed menstruation.
