Level 1: What is pregnancy?
Pregnancy refers to the process in which a fertilized egg implants in a woman\’s body and develops into a fetus. Pregnancy is usually caused by sexual intercourse, when a man\’s sperm combines with a woman\’s egg to form a fertilized egg, which then moves to implant in the uterus over several days.
If you are pregnant, you may experience some early pregnancy symptoms, including breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc. But these symptoms don\’t always occur because everyone is different.
If you want to confirm whether you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Level 2: How to conduct self-test?
If you want to test whether you are pregnant yourself, you can use a pregnancy test stick sold at a drug store. A pregnancy test can detect whether your urine contains chorionic villi (hCG), a hormone produced after a fertilized egg implants.
Using a pregnancy test is easy. First wait until the day you expect your period or a few days after to take the test. Read the instructions carefully and follow them before testing. You usually place the test stick in your urine and wait a few minutes to see the results.
It should be noted that the results of self-test cannot replace the accuracy of hospital examination. If you suspect you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Level 3: How does the hospital conduct inspections?
If you go to the hospital for a pregnancy test, a urine or blood test will usually be done. These tests can detect the presence of the hormone hCG and determine whether you are pregnant.
In addition, doctors may use ultrasound to determine the position and size of the fetus. This test is usually done around 8 weeks into pregnancy.
If you are indeed pregnant, the doctor will also arrange prenatal examination and prenatal diagnosis for you. These tests can help determine whether the fetus is developing normally and rule out any possible problems.
Level 4: Things to note
If you want to confirm whether you are pregnant, please note the following:
1. Read the instructions carefully before self-testing and follow the instructions.
2. Self-test results cannot replace the accuracy of hospital examinations.
3. If you have irregular menstrual cycles or other medical problems, please consult your doctor.
4. If you are indeed pregnant, please see a doctor in time and follow the doctor\’s recommendations for prenatal examination and prenatal diagnosis.
Summary:
Pregnancy is an important task for women. If you suspect that you may be pregnant, you can confirm it by testing yourself or going to the hospital for an examination. It should be noted that self-test is only a preliminary judgment and cannot replace the accuracy of hospital examination. If you are indeed pregnant, please see a doctor promptly and follow your doctor\’s recommendations for prenatal examination and prenatal diagnosis.
