Is urine testing accurate for gender?

For women, if they suspect they are pregnant, they can buy an early pregnancy test to check. They can drop a little morning urine on the test paper. If it shows a positive result, it may mean that they are pregnant. This method can only determine whether they are pregnant or not. There is no way to determine whether they are having a boy or a girl. The most common way to determine whether they are having a boy or a girl is to have an ultrasound examination. However, it is illegal in our country to determine the sex of the fetus in advance.

Is urine testing accurate for gender?

1. Testing the urine of pregnant women can detect human chorionic gonadotropin. This method can determine whether the woman is pregnant, but it cannot detect the gender of the fetus. The sex of the fetus can be detected based on chromosomes, but urine does not contain chromosomes.

2. If the sex of the fetus is determined by detecting the secretion of the male hormone testosterone, the difference in hormones secreted by men and women in the mother's body is extremely small, plus there is interference from the mother's own hormones. The hormone levels in urine alone are not enough to determine the sex of the fetus.

How to quickly detect pregnancy

1. Blood hCG test, which "quantitatively" checks the hCG value in the blood, can respond to pregnancy more sensitively and accurately than the ordinary "qualitative" detection of urine with early pregnancy test strips, with an accuracy rate of over 99%. In addition, for multiple pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies, abnormal fetal developmental delays, hydatidiform mole, certain endocrine diseases or tumors, the blood hCG value can be combined with the clinical condition and other examination results, and a correct judgment can often be made through comprehensive analysis.

2. Urine hCG test. The urine hCG pregnancy test method refers to determining whether a woman is pregnant by detecting whether hCG is contained in her urine. In order to improve accuracy and reduce errors, it is best for female friends to go to the hospital for blood hCG testing.

It is unscientific to use urine to detect the gender of the fetus. No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, they are our own flesh and blood, and we should treat them fairly. Now we live in an open society, and the two-child policy has been relaxed. We should no longer believe in the superstition that it is better to have a boy. The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls should no longer exist. We should cherish our hard-earned children.
