This case describes an instance of delusion of pregnancy in an older male. This patient has a past history of schizophrenia and reported the delusion soon after engaging in a consensual sexual act with another male for the first time. Delusion of pregnancy is a rare disorder, especially among males and older adults. Along with the use of antipsychotic medications, we discuss the approach of using a pregnancy test in a male to aid in reality orientation and dispel the delusion of pregnancy.
该病例描述了一名老年男性出现妊娠妄想的情况。该患者有精神分裂症病史，在首次与另一名男性发生自愿性行为后不久就报告了这种妄想。妊娠妄想是一种罕见的病症，尤其在男性和老年人中。除了使用抗精神病药物外，我们还讨论了对男性进行妊娠检测以帮助其回归现实并消除妊娠妄想的方法。
