The difference between pregnancy test strips and pregnancy test sticks

Nowadays, many female friends choose to use pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to check whether they are pregnant. However, many people are asking this question: is pregnancy test paper better or pregnancy test stick better? What is the difference between pregnancy test paper and pregnancy test stick? In response to this question, the editor will tell you what the difference is between pregnancy test paper and pregnancy test stick, hoping to solve everyone's troubles.

The testing principle of the pregnancy test strips and sticks currently on the market is: using the HCG contained in urine to check. Human chorionic gonadotropin, abbreviated as HCG, is a hormone secreted by pregnant women. This hormone exists in urine and blood. General pregnancy test agents use the reaction presented by the single and multiple HCG antibodies in the device combining with antigens in urine to determine whether the pregnancy is present. Generally speaking, there is no essential difference between pregnancy test sticks and pregnancy test papers, and their accuracy is around 85%-95%.

Pregnancy test sticks are convenient but very expensive, and you need to use more than one stick when testing. ZZY test papers are cheap but more troublesome, and the test time is not as short as with the stick, but you need to test many times. Comparing the money and the effect, the stick is expensive, the test paper is cheap, and the effect is not much different.

The accuracy rate of pregnancy test sticks is approximately between 85% and 95%. Due to the use of multi-layer super-sealed aluminum foil film packaging, the pregnancy test stick is not easily affected by moisture for a long time. Even the product has a good quality level after being stored for 2 to 3 years. Quick response: The pregnancy test stick can display the result within 1 minute, and the fastest pregnancy test stick can be up to 30 seconds.

The working principle of pregnancy self-test is to detect the hCG value, that is, the value of human chorionic gonadotropin. This hormone is excreted into the urine through the blood circulation of pregnant women. Self-testing with early pregnancy test strips is a relatively convenient and quick method of early pregnancy detection. This hormone is produced by the placenta and usually appears in the urine a few days after pregnancy. However, due to the small amount, it is difficult to test it at the beginning and it becomes increasingly obvious after 10 to 14 days.

The effectiveness of a pregnancy test stick has no direct relationship with its price, but the measurement method and approach must be correct. Please follow the instructions in the manual. Generally, the first urination in the morning is used as the standard.

In fact, whether it is a pregnancy test paper or a pregnancy test stick, the results they test may be wrong, and there is no difference between them in essence. The editor recommends that all female friends must confirm whether they are pregnant after seeing a doctor, so as to ensure accuracy. I also hope that my sharing can solve everyone’s problems.
