Every woman preparing to become a mother, it is important to feel the care and attention from a loved one. The gentle and reverent attitude of a man causes a pleasant feeling of self-worth. There are cases when all the feelings and emotions of a woman are felt by her husband.
What is Kuwad syndrome?
This syndrome is a combination of psychosomatic disorders of future young fathers. The basis of the false pregnancy syndrome in the stronger sex is fear and anxiety for the beloved woman and the unborn child. They are most often affected by young men who have not reached the age of thirty and who are preparing to become fathers for the first time.
There are times when Kuwad syndrome occurs in males who already have a baby. At risk are also nervous and unbalanced men with a hysterical disposition. They can easily give in to a panic mood and have difficulty controlling their behavior in difficult situations.
History of occurrence
Kuwad syndrome in men has been observed for several centuries. Its name, translated from French, sounds like "hatch chicks." In the distant past, certain ritual actions of certain peoples could be observed. In those moments when the child was born, the man imitated the birth of his wife. He went to bed, did not eat anything and repeated all the movements of the body and groans after the woman.
It was believed that in this way, he can shift part of the pain experienced by the spouse during childbirth onto his shoulders, and also help her safely bring the baby into the world. In some primitive cultures, “kuvad” means the procedure for causing pain to a male representative during the course of the birth of his beloved woman.
Causes of occurrence
Men who grow up in families where the father did not play a major role in the family are more susceptible. A mother can raise a boy as her reflection, because otherwise she simply does not know how. This also applies to single-parent families, where a woman decides everything herself, she does not have a man’s shoulder to rely on.
If a male representative is endowed with infantility, and leadership qualities prevail in a woman, then most often sons develop regeneration and modification of male qualities. In such families, they do not listen to the father's opinion and do not attach any importance to him. As teenagers, sons can identify with mothers, women. They choose wives, taking into account the advice of their mothers. And in their families, they are rarely leaders. Therefore, in the months of pregnancy of their second half, men who have received such education can experience all the physical and mental experiences of their beloved woman.
Symptoms of false pregnancy in men
Male representatives may experience bloating, pain in the lower back, decreased or loss of appetite, persistent nausea and other symptoms that Kuwad syndrome brings. Signs of manifestation of an imaginary pregnancy are also expressed in a changeable mood, insomnia, the presence of fear, excitement and irritability. Indifference to everything around is a characteristic symptom of Kuwad syndrome .
The signs of this disease in each male are manifested in different ways. The degree of their expression can be completely individual. Sometimes men suffering from this syndrome become much more capricious of pregnant women. Sometimes the symptoms of this disease may erroneously indicate malfunctions in the gastrointestinal tract, appendicitis and diseases of the internal organs.
Men during the course of the pregnancy of their second halves begin to experience their feelings, worry and suffer, like beloved women. They really get sick and come up with nothing. Kuwad syndrome is a certain form of neurosis based on fear for a beloved spouse, an unborn child and guilt before a soul mate for pain caused.
Options for the course of the disease
There are several options for the course of this disease. The progression of symptoms often worsens toward the end of the gestation period, closer to the time the labor begins. There are times when men feel their presence during the entire pregnancy period of a woman. Usually they disappear at the beginning of childbirth, but there are exceptions when the symptoms disappear only after the second halves have complications after childbirth. Some males may be subject to Kuwad syndrome even before the pregnancy of the wife, on the days of her menstrual cycle. At this time, they may experience the same sensation of abdominal pain, discomfort in the lower back as women.
According to studies in America, Kuwad syndrome or a man’s pregnancy can overtake one in nine males. In 40% of the stronger sex, this disease is quite easy. In the months of pregnancy of the second half, they may have malfunctions of the digestive tract and weak pain in certain areas. It is scientifically proven that this syndrome is most pronounced during the third and ninth months of pregnancy.
Imaginary pregnancy in women
Kuwad syndrome in women is extremely rare. Sometimes the fairer sex may think that she is expecting a baby, but in fact, the presence of certain symptoms is not related to pregnancy. The cause of false pregnancy in women is not fully understood. An imaginary pregnancy test always shows a negative result.
Nowadays, experts are inclined to believe that this disease is more based on psychological factors. If the fair sex can not have children or they have miscarriages, they are approaching menopause or are simply actively looking for their second half, this can lead to symptoms of an imaginary pregnancy. They may experience malfunctions of the menstrual cycle, pain in the chest and other symptoms. These manifestations can be felt by a woman for weeks or even months.
Fighting Kuwad Syndrome
Male patients suffering from the symptoms of this disease need the help of qualified professionals. Psychologists will help to find out the true cause of the disease and give recommendations on how to live this difficult time without harming yourself and your loved ones. There are currently no drugs that can effectively combat the symptoms of false pregnancy. A specialist can prescribe safe sedatives. It is strictly forbidden to treat Kuvad syndrome on your own.
Disease control
Each male can clearly control the course of this disease. Having received the news of the pregnancy of the woman they love, they are advised to immediately begin to follow certain recommendations:
- Men can’t dive headlong into their problems, they need to talk about them with their loved ones.
- They are advised to devote more time to their soul mates, wearing under the baby’s heart.
- Future fathers should read literature from which information about the course of pregnancy and childbirth can be found.
- You need to start attending special courses for future dads and mothers.
- To go with his wife for examinations and ultrasound to ask the doctor painful questions and make sure that the pregnancy is proceeding normally.
- Write a list of necessary acquisitions in order to have an idea of upcoming expenses.
- Examine the place of residence for pharmacies and shops where you can purchase everything you need for your baby.
Kuwad syndrome can be attributed to a rather curious, but at the same time non-standard reactions of the body. To some extent, its presence proves that male representatives are also in a state of expectation of a baby, and representatives of the stronger sex are not as cold-blooded as some women think.
