Hyperemesis gravidarum as a psychosomatic disorder
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a pathology that occurs during pregnancy. According to Grooten et al (2015), it affects between 0.3 and 1% of the population. Its main symptoms are nausea, intense vomiting, loss of body weight and dehydration, in addition to hydroelectrolytic disorders and nutritional deficiency, as discussed by Alfenas et al (2017). This pathology usually appears between the fourth and tenth week of pregnancy, and, according to Ismail and Kenny (2007), this condition can be aggravated and trigger preeclampsia, a premature detachment of the placenta, with direct consequences for pregnancy, such as occurrence of stillbirth and birth at low gestational age.
