About Pregnancy Test

A pregnancy test is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta after implantation. Performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, it confirms pregnancy, which is the first critical step in prenatal care. The test can be conducted using a urine sample, typically with a rapid over-the-counter kit, or a more sensitive blood test drawn at a clinic. A positive result enables the timely initiation of essential prenatal consultations, screenings, and lifestyle planning to ensure the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. Early confirmation is vital for managing health conditions and optimizing pregnancy outcomes.
