What is pseudopregnancy?

Patient's question:

What is pseudopregnancy? How can pseudopregnancy be diagnosed?

Doctor's answer:

There is a pseudopregnancy phenomenon. The so-called "pseudopregnancy" refers to women experiencing some symptoms similar to pregnancy, such as the cessation of menstruation, nausea, vomiting, and even and abdominal bloating. However, in reality, it is not actual pregnancy, and no pregnancy can be seen either inside or outside the uterus on ultrasound. There are many causes of pseudopregnancy, mostly related to environmental stress, such as poor relationship with the husband or untreatable infertility. At this time, nausea and vomiting are all physiological changes caused by the mind.
