What does a false positive pregnancy mean?

Many women will find that when they test with early pregnancy test strips, the results are weakly positive, and they will also experience some adverse reactions of early pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, cessation of menstruation, etc. When I went to the hospital for further examination, I found out it was a false positive pregnancy. Below, the editor will introduce some symptoms of false positive pregnancy in women and the reasons for false positive pregnancy in normal times.

"False pregnancy" refers to a woman who experiences symptoms similar to pregnancy, such as cessation of menstruation, nausea, vomiting, and even conscious fetal movement and abdominal distension, but it is not a real pregnancy, and no pregnancy can be seen inside or outside the uterus under ultrasound.

After a woman becomes pregnant, it usually takes a few days for the fertilized egg to implant before changes occur in her body's endocrine system. When the male's sperm combines with the female's egg to form a fertilized egg which is implanted in the uterus, a new hormone is produced in the female's body, medically called chorionic gonadotropin. Its physiological function is to maintain pregnancy.

This hormone can be detected in the urine through early pregnancy test strips 7 to 10 days after conception. This is the working principle of urine pregnancy test. Therefore, false pregnancy cannot be detected through urine tests, so everyone must pay attention.

The false pregnancy test paper is not positive. The urine pregnancy test is commonly known as the early pregnancy test. It determines whether the woman is pregnant by detecting whether the urine contains a certain amount of human chorionic gonadotropin. Normal non-pregnant women test negative, while pregnant women test positive. Generally, a urine pregnancy test will be positive 35 days after menstruation. A negative urine pregnancy test result in a woman who is already pregnant.

Generally speaking, pregnancy test papers or pregnancy test sticks are not 100% accurate. It is recommended that patients who have a small amount of menstrual flow but are found to be pregnant should go to a local regular hospital for an ultrasound examination first, and then take appropriate measures. If they are indeed pregnant, the bleeding may be caused by ectopic pregnancy or signs of miscarriage. It is recommended to start treatment in time. If you are not pregnant, then use drugs and other methods to treat the symptoms of small amounts of menstrual flow.

Therefore, when women have not had their menstruation for a long time, often experience early pregnancy reactions such as decreased appetite, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and when the pregnancy test is weakly positive, they should test repeatedly or go to the hospital for further detailed examination in time to rule out ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion as soon as possible.
