The difference between false pregnancy and early pregnancy

The symptoms of false pregnancy and early pregnancy are very similar. There are many reasons for false pregnancy, the most important of which is caused by psychological factors. On the one hand, it may be an eager desire to get pregnant, and on the other hand, it may be a fear of pregnancy, both of which may cause such symptoms. In addition, some diseases may also cause false pregnancy, such as lupus erythematosus, etc. As long as you go to the hospital for a regular check-up, you can tell.

What is a false pregnancy? Will it show two numbers on the test?

Of course, there will be no two lines on the false pregnancy test paper. Women may experience some pregnancy-like symptoms, such as cessation of menstruation, nausea, vomiting, and may even feel fetal movement and abdominal distension, but in fact this is not a true pregnancy, and B-ultrasound cannot show pregnancy inside or outside the uterus. In this case, blood HCG is not high. The test was negative.

Some diseases may also cause false pregnancy. Such as lupus erythematosus, which will lead to an increase in blood HCG. In this case, the test is positive. If you experience any pregnancy symptoms, you must go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. The vast majority of false pregnancies are caused by psychological factors. Because the woman is very eager to get pregnant, her body will produce some pregnancy-like symptoms. Usually, in this type of false pregnancy, the blood HCG level will not rise.

False pregnancy, as the name suggests, is not a real pregnancy. Women with pseudopregnancy experience physical symptoms similar to those of pregnancy, such as amenorrhea, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, and even conscious fetal movement, but they are not actually pregnant. If a woman undergoes an ultrasound examination, a woman with false pregnancy will not be able to see any pregnancy inside or outside the uterus under ultrasound.

Causes of false pregnancy

The causes of false pregnancy include psychological factors and disease factors. Causes of false pregnancy include:

1. False pregnancy caused by psychological factors:

Psychological stress is the main cause of false pregnancy. This is mainly because some women are very eager to get pregnant but have not yet done so. This psychological state causes them to suffer from excessive mental stress, which causes them to unconsciously experience some pregnancy-like symptoms. The nausea, vomiting and other symptoms that occur at this time are physiological changes caused by psychological reasons. Normally, women with false pregnancy do not experience an increase in chorionic gonadotropin. If you properly divert your attention and let go of your mental burden, the symptoms of false pregnancy will disappear.

2. False pregnancy caused by disease factors:

Some women may experience false pregnancy due to illness. A common disease is systemic lupus erythematosus. Women with this disease will experience an increase in the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood, resulting in nausea, vomiting and other symptoms similar to those in early pregnancy. However, an ultrasound examination revealed no signs of pregnancy, but chorionic gonadotropin was present in the blood. If the pseudopregnancy is caused by lupus erythematosus, a referral to an internal medicine doctor for a detailed examination is usually recommended.
