Chapter 756: Chapter 307: Pregnancy Accompanied Syndro, Just Deal With It

The prognosis for septicemia is not as optimistic as the average person might imagine, especially for the elderly and young children, with a mortality rate of over 40%. In actual clinical treatnt, there have been cases where the mortality rate has exceeded 50%.

The earlier the disease is detected, the better.

Promptly and thoroughly eliminating the primary infection and any migratory foci is key to cutting off the source of the pathogen.

Then carry out standard antibacterial and anti-infection treatnts.

If other complications occur, such as pneumonia or acute renal failure, corresponding symptomatic treatnts are also needed.

Being injured by rusty tal or animal bites requires an imdiate tetanus vaccine.

This is also the most effective and cost-efficient thod to prevent septicemia.

A vaccine costs just a few dozen yuan, but this little girl’s condition is already quite serious, and to save her life would be good enough. The treatnt costs will undoubtedly be an astonishing figure.

If the patient’s condition worsens after hospital admission, or severe complications arise, then staying in the ICU will be necessary, and the costs will be even more frightening.

The expense is secondary; saving her life is of utmost importance.

Don’t think that just because dical standards seem impressive and many diseases can be cured, there are also many situations where doctors are helpless.

Every day at Tuya Hospital, there are bodies transported to the funeral ho.

Right after finishing the hospital admission paperwork for the little girl, a middle-aged couple approached.

The woman, around thirty, was dressed very fashionably.

With a belly that bulged significantly.

Zhou Can didn’t dare to guess randomly, as so won have particularly noticeable bellies due to a lack of exercise.

More extre still, so won’s bellies swell up as if they’re six months pregnant. If you dare suggest they’re pregnant, they’ll flip out on you.

These days, a beer belly is no longer exclusive to n, a slightly older woman who lacks self-discipline and does not take enough care of her figure could easily develop a pregnant-looking belly.

“Doctor, can you treat a man with a pregnancy illness?”

The man was a bit embarrassed, his wife asked on his behalf.

“A man with a pregnancy?”

Zhou Can was utterly baffled, already having dealt with an odd patient who used a plastic tube to suck food out of their stomach. Now there’s an even more bizarre patient.

If n could get pregnant, roosters would be laying eggs.

“It’s like this, I’ve been pregnant for over six months. I have no problems, but I have no idea what’s wrong with my husband—he’s developed symptoms of morning sickness, and his belly keeps growing day by day, along with stretch marks on his thighs and belly. At first, we thought it was a coincidence, until he started developing stretch marks recently, and we confird that my husband might actually be pregnant.”

As the woman talked about these things, her husband sat across from Zhou Can, embarrassed, keeping his head down and not daring to look at anyone.

A man with a pregnancy, truly a rare oddity.

It’s normal for the patient himself to feel embarrassed.

“Have you been checked in another hospital?” Zhou Can kept a serious expression on his face as much as possible, to minimize the awkwardness for the patient.

As a nurse for so long, Ji You had never heard such an unusual tale.

She curiously sized up the male patient.

Even though the man wore a loose coat, it couldn’t conceal his swollen abdon.

“We’ve done one check-up. I didn’t have the nerve to tell the doctor the truth then, just ntioned that my stomach felt uncomfortable and had an ultrasound done. The check showed everything was normal.”

The man gathered his courage and looked up at Zhou Can.

“When did you start experiencing these symptoms?” asked Zhou Can.

“About two or three months after my wife got pregnant, I began to feel nausea with greasy food and general fatigue. I later found out that all the symptoms I was experiencing were very similar to early pregnancy reactions in won. At that ti, I still couldn’t believe that a grown man like could be pregnant. But as days went by, my belly just kept growing.”

Talking about these absurd matters, even he himself found them sowhat unbelievable.

And filled with distress.

“Recently, it’s been even scarier. My belly grew even larger and stretch marks started forming on my abdon and thighs. Also, I never used to eat sour foods, but now I have a craving for them.”

The man lifted his shirt, and there they were!

His stomach was covered in purple-brown stretch marks.

“The world is so large, there’s nothing that doesn’t exist. Let’s start with a physical examination.”

Zhou Can conducted an examination and found that pressing on the man’s abdon was almost no different from that of a pregnant woman.

After the examination, he arranged for an abdominal ultrasound, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis for the man.

These three tests can further determine whether the man is pregnant.

To find out if a woman is pregnant, a simple urine test can reveal it. Zhou Can believed that this man was certainly not pregnant, and instead, he was worried about the presence of a tumor or sothing similar in his abdon.

Therefore, he ordered an ultrasound check.

Not long after, the man ca back from the tests.

Zhou Can first looked at the ultrasound images, which were consistent with the findings of the previous hospital—no fetus, no tumors, everything was normal.

The urinalysis also showed no pregnancy.

To check for pregnancy through urinalysis, doctors detect the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine to determine if there is a pregnancy.

The blood test results showed several hormones abnormally elevated.

A disease that Zhou Can had only read about in dical books burst into his mind—the Couvade syndro.

At this mont, he was almost certain that this man was suffering from this condition.
