Pregnancy

test A pregnancy test is a medical tool used to detect whether a woman is pregnant or not. It works by measuring the levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. A positive test result indicates the presence of hCG and confirms that the woman is pregnant. Pregnancy tests are an important tool for ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy and for helping women plan for their maternity care. They provide early information about a pregnancy and help doctors to assess and treat any potential problems as early as possible.
