HCG Pregnancy Test – Description
 
The HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pregnancy Test is a rapid, easy-to-use diagnostic device designed to detect the presence of the HCG hormone in urine. HCG is produced by the placenta shortly after embryo implantation, making it a reliable marker for early pregnancy detection.
This test is commonly used at home or in clinical settings to provide quick results within minutes. It is non-invasive and provides high sensitivity and specificity for confirming pregnancy as early as the first day of a missed period.
