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.

There are open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy, with laparoscopic being minimally invasive and often preferred for quicker recovery.

Laparoscopic repair is less invasive, offering benefits like smaller scars, less pain, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
