Comparing and contrasting two patients with pseudocyesis made it clear that differing psychodynamic factors specific to each patient resulted in divergent ways in which they sought out and used medical care. The propensity of these patients to distort reality was observed to interfere with the usefulness of sonography in convincing them that they were not pregnant. Management recommendations are suggested to aid the obstetrician in designing a treatment approach to assist the patient in accepting the diagnosis, giving up the symptom, and preventing future recurrences.
对两名假孕患者进行比较和对比后发现，每位患者特有的不同心理动力因素导致了他们寻求和利用医疗护理的方式存在差异。观察到这些患者扭曲现实的倾向干扰了超声检查在使他们相信自己未怀孕方面的效用。建议了管理建议，以帮助产科医生设计一种治疗方法，协助患者接受诊断、放弃症状并预防未来复发。
