Clinically, it is found that some patients come to the outpatient clinic because of nausea, vomiting and other symptoms just a few days after their menstruation.

3. Why does false pregnancy occur?

1. Psychological factors: Many women are eager to get pregnant. This may be because they have a bad relationship with their husbands and hope to improve their relationship through pregnancy. Or they may have been trying to get pregnant for a long time but still failed to get pregnant. Under the long-term psychological suggestion, they eventually experience a similar pregnancy situation.

2. Caused by disease: Disease may also cause false pregnancy. For example, some female patients with lupus erythematosus are prone to increased chorionic gonadotropin, which can lead to pregnancy. Although this hormone is present in the blood, no pregnancy was detected through ultrasound tests.
