Recovery includes managing pain, adjusting to the new device, and participating in auditory rehabilitation. Most patients experience improvements in hearing within a few weeks to months.

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.

The surgery itself is not painful due to anesthesia. Post-surgery, some discomfort at the incision site is normal but manageable.
