Man pregnant after gay sex

An Indian man, 52, was hospitalized by a
psychiatrist after his insistence that he
had been impregnated after having a
homosexual encounter, Times of India
reports.
The unnamed father of two had told his
family that he could feel a baby moving
around in his abdomen.
He was then taken to a hospital in
Kunhitharuvai Memorial Charitable Trust
Medical College where the psychiatric
doctors concluded that he was suffering
from “delusions” spurred by his secret
sexual relationship with another man. He
admitted to doctors that his belief
followed a homosexual encounter.
Speaking on the rare incident, Dr PN
Suresh Kumar – Head of the Doctors –
said:
“We never came across this sort
of case before. He was an active
homosexual in his adolescent
years which may contributed to
his beliefs. But, his homosexuality
did not affect his marriage,”
“Usually, we see couvade
syndrome in some dads-to-be
who show certain symptoms of
pregnancy (like nausea, weight
gain or sleep problems) when
their partners get pregnant.”
Dr Kumar says that there didn’t seem to
be any gender identity disorders and test
results came back normal, despite the
delusion which the patient’s doctor said
started six months ago.
“The patient went for counseling
and took Risperidone. This
delusion was cured due to the
medical intervention. After a
series of counseling sessions, he
stopped indulging in homosexual
activities. Now, the patient is
recovering and we are measuring
his progress during periodic
check-ups.”
Risperidone is commonly used to treat
psychosis in schizophrenic and bipolar
patients.
