What are the symptoms of false pregnancy

False pregnancy refers to symptoms similar to pregnancy in women, but it is not a real pregnancy. The symptoms of false pregnancy are very similar to those of real pregnancy, including nausea and vomiting, cessation of menstruation, fetal movement, abdominal distension, etc. There are many reasons for false pregnancy, including psychological reasons and some gynecological diseases.

symptom

1. Nausea and vomiting: Moods and diseases such as colds or gastrointestinal discomfort can also cause this feeling, so this condition is difficult to use as a criterion for determining whether you are pregnant.

2. Amenorrhea: Women who usually experience this symptom have irregular menstrual cycles, and psychological factors affect hormone regulation, so menstruation may not come for several months. Because of this, when menstruation comes again, it is often mistaken for a sign of miscarriage.

3. Conscious fetal movement: This feeling is actually just strong intestinal peristalsis. Nausea, vomiting and noticeable peristalsis are common when the stomach is upset, but because the symptoms are so similar to those of early pregnancy, they are often confused by women who are trying to get pregnant.

4. Abdominal bulge: Usually, women with false pregnancy will eat too much nutritious food in the early stage. In this case. Within a short period of time, the lower abdomen will continue to protrude and be mistaken for pregnancy. If there are many uterine fibroids in the uterus or if you are obese, it will cause an obvious abdominal bulge.

reason

1. Caused by psychological factors - Because of the inner desire to get pregnant, some pregnancy-like symptoms will appear on the body. Usually, in this type of false pregnancy, the chorionic gonadotropin in the body will not increase.

2. Caused by disease - For example, female patients with lupus erythematosus will have an increased concentration of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood, resulting in symptoms similar to pregnancy. Therefore, if ultrasound examination shows no signs of pregnancy, but human chorionic gonadotropin is present in the blood, referral to internal medicine for detailed examination is usually recommended.
