Other than pregnancy, what's the cause?

In addition to pregnancy, there are a number of reasons that can lead to a positive test strip, including test strip quality problems or improper handling, certain disease factors, drug effects, cross-reactions, etc. 1, test paper quality problems or improper operation If the test paper itself has quality defects, or in the process of use did not follow the correct methods and steps to operate, such as insufficient urine sample volume, soaking time is too long or too short, reading results time is not accurate, etc., false positive results may occur. 2, some disease factors Some diseases may lead to abnormal levels of related hormones in the body, resulting in a positive test paper reaction. For example, some ovarian germ cell tumors, such as ovarian choriocarcinoma, ovarian embryonal carcinoma, etc., may secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), resulting in a positive pregnancy test paper. In addition, pituitary diseases may also affect hormone secretion and similar situations occur. 3, drugs affect the use of certain drugs may also interfere with the test results. For example, some drugs containing HCG or similar bioactive ingredients may cause the test paper to be positive after use. 4. Cross-reaction In rare cases, the test paper may cross-react with other substances, resulting in false positive signals. It should be noted that when the test paper has a positive result, especially in the case of excluding pregnancy, it should be treated promptly for further examination and diagnosis to clarify the cause and take corresponding treatment measures. Do not judge and process only by the test paper results, so as not to delay the disease or cause unnecessary misunderstanding and anxiety. At the same time, when using the test paper for testing, be sure to read the instructions carefully and strictly follow the requirements to improve the accuracy of the test results.
