Is it okay to exercise if I have a painful anal fissure? I found that working out helps relieve the pain a bit, but I'm worried about making the tear worse or experiencing more pain. Should I keep working out, or is it safer to stop until it heals?

pregnancy test with two lines, one faint, is generally considered a positive result.
Here's why:
- Two lines indicate pregnancy: Even if one line is faint, the presence of two lines suggests that the test has detected human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine.
- Faint line may indicate low hCG: A faint second line can be a sign of low hCG levels, which is common in early pregnancy.
- Test sensitivity: Different pregnancy tests have varying levels of sensitivity. A faint line may be more noticeable on a more sensitive test.
To confirm your result:
- Retake the test: Try another pregnancy test, preferably with a more sensitive brand, to confirm the result.
- Wait a few days: If you're testing too early, wait a few days and try again.
- Consult a healthcare professional: If you're still unsure or have concerns, consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
