How to determine if you are in the early stages of pregnancy? This is a question that many women are very concerned about. Women always want to know if they are pregnant as soon as possible, and making an accurate and timely judgment about their pregnancy is crucial for them. For women who want children, it is a surprise, and once they confirm their pregnancy, it helps them to undergo early pregnancy examinations sooner; while for those women who do not need to bear children at the moment, after accurately determining their pregnancy, they can terminate the unintended pregnancy in time, and also detect and avoid ectopic pregnancies and other unexpected situations early on. It is not difficult to discover signs of pregnancy as early as possible. So, how to determine if you are in the early stages of pregnancy? The experts from Xi'an Abortion Hospital provide detailed information:
1. Have your menstruation stopped?
The cessation of menstruation is the most significant and earliest sign of pregnancy. Your menstrual cycle might become temporarily disordered due to various reasons such as nutrition, diet, mood, or even changes in work type. However, if you have had intercourse with your partner recently, and your menstrual period has been delayed by 10 days without any inducing factors, this should raise high alert. At this point, you may very likely be pregnant. If the menstruation continues to stop for more than fourteen days, you should immediately go to the hospital for a test.
2. Have you experienced early pregnancy reactions?
If your menstrual cycle is already irregular, and menstruation has stopped for several weeks, and you still don't know that you're pregnant, by the sixth week of pregnancy, you will experience nausea, vomiting, fatigue, craving for spicy and sour foods, etc., known as early pregnancy reactions.
3. Have you experienced increased urination?
After eight weeks of pregnancy, due to the enlarged uterus pressing on the bladder, there will be reflexive increase in urination, sometimes up to several times or even ten times per hour. Although the frequency of urination increases, the amount does not increase, accompanied by mild dizziness, nausea, etc.
4. Has your body temperature remained slightly elevated?
Under normal circumstances, young women have lower temperatures before ovulation and higher temperatures after ovulation. If your menstrual period has been delayed for several weeks, and you feel your heart rate has increased without any inducing factors, you need to buy a thermometer and measure your temperature. If the measurement shows that your temperature has been slightly higher than usual for twenty consecutive days and remains high, then you are very likely pregnant.
5. Have you noticed significant changes in your breasts?
If your workload is heavy and your life pace is fast, and you have been pregnant for eight weeks but are unaware, abnormal changes in your breasts will serve as an important reminder. After being pregnant for more than eight weeks, your breasts will feel swollen, numb, and itchy, the color of the nipples will deepen, and deep brown nodules will appear around the areola.
6. Is the result of the early pregnancy test positive?
An early pregnancy test strip is a long strip-like test paper, which can be purchased at general pharmacies and clinics. Due to its low price, practicality, and high accuracy, it is deeply loved by female friends. The early pregnancy test strip can be used for self-testing after menstruation stops. Before use, wash your hands and the cup used for testing, then use a clean cup to hold a small amount of urine, insert the test strip into the urine for three seconds according to the arrow's direction, then take it out and place it on the edge of the cup to wait for a moment. If you are pregnant, the test strip will show two purple-red short lines; if you are not pregnant, the test strip will show one purple-red short line.
Xi'an Sanqin Hospital warmly recommends to women who are unexpectedly pregnant: endoscopic visible painless abortion.
1. Safety: Endoscopic visible painless abortion uses a much finer high-molecular silicone micro-tube compared to traditional metal suction tubes used in abortions. It is smoother and softer, allowing the embryonic sac inside the uterine cavity to be gently sucked out without excessive cervical dilation, thereby greatly reducing damage to the female cervix tissue.
2. Visibility: Endoscopic visible painless abortion uses advanced endoscopes to locate the implantation position of the fertilized egg (front wall or back wall of the uterus), and under fully visible conditions, more clearly finds the embryonic sac, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness, preventing blind procedures.
3. Uterus preservation: High-molecular silicone micro-tubes do not require cervical dilation, no scraping, no cleaning of the uterus, and do not damage the uterus, ensuring reproductive organs remain tight and unchanged, preventing excessive suction and retrograde flow of the endometrium into the fallopian tubes and pelvis, thus not affecting future fertility and quality of life.
4. Professionalism: Every abortion surgery at Xi'an Sanqin Hospital is personally performed by gynecological experts with no accident records in tens of thousands of abortion surgeries, completing the procedure quickly in three minutes, with high safety, without affecting work and study.
5. Privacy: Xi'an Sanqin Hospital adheres to people-oriented principles, adopting a one doctor-one patient-one room diagnostic model, respecting and protecting patient privacy, creating a warm medical environment for patients, providing patients with thoughtful and high-quality services.
