A blood test can show the presence of pregnancy as early as the sixth day after successful conception. Whereas a standard pregnancy test in some cases can give incorrect results. Therefore, tests during pregnancy are prescribed to determine conditions such as:
• Establishing the actual fact of conception;
• Assessment of hormonal levels for disruptions;
• Tracking pathological types of pregnancy:
• Frozen – in this case, at a certain stage the embryo stops its development;
• Ectopic - in this situation, the zygote is not attached to the wall of the uterus, but in the fallopian tube.
A blood test also shows the presence of infections, other types of dysfunction of the body and diseases such as:
• Cytomegalovirus;
• Diphtheria;
• Tetanus;
• Herpes;
• Chlamydia;
• Hepatitis;
• Ureaplasmosis;
• HIV;
• Mycoplasmosis;
• Syphilis;
• Leptospirosis;
• Chlamydia.
Any of these diseases poses a danger not only to the woman’s body, but also to her unborn child. Therefore, if there are abnormalities in the blood test results, the doctor refers the patient for additional examination.
