2. UPT
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.

Fasting is not required, but avoid a large meal before the test. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements.
Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the test.
It can help diagnose conditions such as prolactinomas, hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine disorders affecting prolactin levels.
