Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Pregnancy pseudocyesis is a phenomenon of physiological changes caused by psychological factors, typically occurring in women who have been married for many years without being able to conceive. Due to a strong desire to have children combined with anxiety, over time, it interferes with the normal function of the central nervous system, thereby affecting the endocrine system through neural regulation. Some hormones in the body, such as prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and progesterone levels increase, inhibiting ovulation of the ovaries and leading to symptoms such as amenorrhea, breast swelling, nausea, vomiting, and changes in appetite.
