Op. Dr. Abdulaziz Akkaya, a gynecologist who examined that the gestational sac was empty and there was no pregnancy, noted that in this case, he could easily diagnose false pregnancy.
Why does it occur?
Antalya Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Abdulaziz Akkaya: “False pregnancy is the clearest indication that human psychology has a level of influence that can shape the body. It is experienced under the influence of the hypothalamus, which is located in the forebrain region below the thalamus in the brain and forms the floor of the third ventricle. “The hypothalamus provides the connection between the brain and the endocrine system through the pituitary gland.” He said that the psychological effects experienced for this reason cause development in connection with hormones.
Op. summarizes the psychological processes that cause false pregnancy to occur. Dr. Abdulaziz Akkaya explains these processes
- An intense desire or fear of getting pregnant and having a child
- Previous pregnancies ending in miscarriage
- Traumas related to pregnancy
- Experiencing conflicting feelings about gender
- Severe sadness after the tubes are tied or the uterus is removed by a surgical intervention.
Op. underlined that false pregnancy is generally experienced by women who want to be pregnant very much, cannot have children due to infertility problems and have entered menopause. Dr. Akkaya stated that false pregnancy occurs in women who want to get married but cannot, if this desire is intense. Antalya Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Abdulaziz Akkaya: “While the main symptoms of pregnancy appear almost immediately, it can also cause the pregnancy process to occur. However, this situation is limited to symptoms. "As a result of the examinations, it is determined that there is no pregnancy." he said.
