Uses of HCG Test Kit
An HCG Test Kit is used to detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in urine or blood, which is produced during pregnancy. It is commonly used as a home pregnancy test to confirm early pregnancy. In medical settings, it may also be used to monitor pregnancy progression, detect ectopic pregnancy, or assess certain conditions related to abnormal hCG production, such as trophoblastic disease. The test is easy to use, provides quick results, and helps in early pregnancy detection so that appropriate prenatal care can be started.

Side Effects of HCG Test Kit
The HCG Test Kit itself does not cause direct physical side effects, as it is a non-invasive test. However, possible issues can arise from incorrect usage or interpretation of results. These may include false-positive or false-negative results, leading to emotional distress or confusion. A false-positive can occur due to certain medications, recent miscarriage, or medical conditions producing hCG. A false-negative may result from testing too early or using diluted urine. Rarely, skin irritation may occur if the test kit contents come into contact with the skin. Accurate results depend on following the instructions carefully.
