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.

Risks may include bleeding, infection, blood clots, or damage to blood vessels. However, the minimally invasive nature of the procedure reduces these risks.

Candidates include individuals with significant nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum that does not improve with other treatments.
