Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2021, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the causes for suicide in young and unmarried females is relationship without wed-log which turns into pregnancy. Due to failure of relationship or to hide the condition and guilt, they commit suicide. Sometimes during autopsy, misdiagnosis of pregnancy in absence of pregnancy causes embarrassing and controversial scenarios to families. However, on the other side, often pregnancy findings are not detected in early pregnancy which leads escape of accused from punishment. Therefore, an accurate test of pregnancy is essential. In prevailing practice, size of uterus and corpusluteum are increased during pregnancy, which leads to definitive diagnosis. Nonetheless in early pregnancy, size of uterus and corpusluteum doesn’t increase considerably and findings are usually untraced. The proposed method is easy and confirmatory test for the same. It is done by examining either urine or blood serum for hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) of deceased by a hCG strip. Test result shows positive if deceased aborted pregnancy within 15 days of death.
