One day, a girl pushed open my clinic door in a hurry. Regardless of me and other patients, she started shouting: \”Aunt Yu, it\’s bad, it\’s bad. My illness has recurred again, and my menstruation is irregular again.\” .\”
I hinted that she had other patients, hoping that she would wait for a while. Only then did she see someone else beside her, stuck out her tongue and retreated.
She is her daughter’s friend. When consulting on infertility, the most intuitive symptom was irregular menstruation. She was later diagnosed with polycystic ovarian changes. Her treatment process was relatively smooth. After half a year, her menstruation has returned to normal. Logically speaking, it shouldn\’t happen again, unless this little girl doesn\’t know how high the sky is and stays up late and works overtime, causing endocrine disorders.
When she was called in, she had already chewed on the apple.
\”It\’s so unhygienic to eat in the clinic!\” I scolded her slightly fondly.
“I don’t know what’s going on lately. I’m always hungry and don’t eat much, but I get hungry after a while… Oh, by the way, Aunt Yu, I almost forgot about the business. I postponed it for another half month. I haven’t had my period yet, and my back has been sore lately. I always thought it was coming soon, but it just won’t come… I promise, auntie, I promise not to stay up late or travel long distances, and to take care of myself as always… Don’t criticize me!
I smiled lovingly, watching her play tricks.
\”Hurry up and show me what\’s going on? I really didn\’t go out to play! Really. But I still can\’t wake up all day long…\”
Wait for her After finishing my chattering, I put a test sheet in front of her: \”Okay, eat quickly. After eating, go for a pregnancy test. There is a high probability that you are pregnant.\”
\”No way! How can it be so magical?\” She continued to chew on the apple disapprovingly, \”I tried hard for 3 years before and couldn\’t get pregnant. Now how can I get pregnant all at once? It\’s impossible! Aunt Yu, don\’t tease me. \”Hey, do you really think you are the queen who gave birth to a child? I just told you that we are both ready to fight for another three years.\”
I have long been accustomed to her carelessness, so I just smiled and looked at it. He watched her chew a big apple three times or two, and then went to do the test. I remember that when my daughter was pregnant, she also had such a good appetite.
About half an hour later, she rushed in again, her voice eight decibels louder: \”Mom! Aunt Yu, you are really amazing! Plus, really plus! You Please help me see if I saw it wrong. God! You are really the Queen who gave birth to a child, and you are so wonderful at rejuvenating her…\”
I signaled to her again that there were other patients.
This time she is not so confidentHe woke up and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with other patients: \”Sister, let me tell you, you found the right person to find Aunt Yu. I haven\’t been pregnant for 3 years, 3 years! Look, in the blink of an eye, here it is! By the way, Please help me see, is it a plus sign?\”
The patient was also infected by her good mood, and confirmed with a smile: \”Yes, it is a plus sign, look at the bottom and don\’t you want to return it? It says, early pregnancy!\”
\”Ah! It\’s true! I\’m sorry, sister, I just want to ask a question. Aunt Yu, what else should I do now? Is to wait for you outside. Can you prescribe medicine for me?\”
\”Yes, you still need to test the hormone level. If it is normal, just keep it at home.\”
She finally calmed down contentedly, Exited the clinic.
Actuallythere are many symptoms of early pregnancy, the most intuitive of which is amenorrhea. However, because infertile patients often have irregular menstruation or amenorrhea due to other reasons, it is difficult to determine whether menopause must mean pregnancy.
Simply put, shortly after fertilization, the placental trophoblast cells secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a glycoprotein hormone produced by the placenta in the pregnant woman. It is present in large amounts in the urine of pregnant women and can be excreted from the urine through the glomerulus. There is almost no HCG in the urine of non-pregnant women.
Then, you need the help of early pregnancy test paper at this time. In fact, many hospitals now use early pregnancy test strips for pregnancy testing. The advent of early pregnancy test strips has brought great convenience to the diagnosis of early pregnancy. On the 7th day of pregnancy, a specific hormone—human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)—can be detected in a woman’s urine, which helps maintain pregnancy.
Under normal circumstances, drop urine into the detection hole of the test paper. If a colored band appears in the control area of the test paper (some test papers appear red, some test papers appear blue), it means If there is no pregnancy, on the contrary, if an obvious color band appears in the detection area, it means positive, indicating that pregnancy has occurred. This test has the advantages of rapidness, convenience, sensitivity, and high specificity, and can avoid cross-reactions caused by other glycoprotein hormones that have similar structures to HCG. HCG usually appears in urine a few days after the fertilized egg implants, and it must reach a certain amount to be detected. Therefore, for women with normal menstruation, HCG can be detected in urine only after their menstruation is delayed.
However, patients with certain endocrine diseases and tumors (including mole, choriocarcinoma, bronchial cancer, renal cancer, endometrial hyperplasia) may also have positive results due to high HCG content in their urine.
It is worth noting that women of childbearing age who experience menopause cannot rely solely on a self-test on a pregnancy paper to determine whether they are pregnant. The most reliable thing is to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, especially for those who are weakly positive, so that measures can be taken as early as possible. Especially when uterine ectopy or abnormal pregnancy is suspected, other methods should be used for diagnosis.
