A Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) detects the presence of the hormone hCG in a woman’s urine to confirm pregnancy.

You can take a UPT if you have missed your period or are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.

The UPT is highly accurate when performed correctly and can detect pregnancy within a few days of a missed period.

The test involves collecting a urine sample and using a test strip or device to detect hCG levels.

If your UPT result is positive, contact your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and begin prenatal care.

Cystectomy surgery involves the removal of all or part of the bladder to treat conditions such as bladder cancer or severe bladder dysfunction.

Risks include mild discomfort, potential infection, and, rarely, injury to the ureter or bladder.
