Abstract

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a debilitating condition characterized by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, yet its severity is often misunderstood or underestimated by both the public and healthcare providers. This lack of understanding can lead to misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and undue suffering for individuals experiencing HG. This study explores the online discourse surrounding HG to identify key themes related to patient experiences and perceptions. Using the Twint0 application, we collected 5,856 relevant posts from the X social networking site over a 12-month period. A thematic analysis revealed four major themes: (1) misconceptions about severity of symptoms, (2) emotional and psychological toll of HG, (3) experiences with healthcare and treatment, and (4) impact on pregnancy and maternal health. The findings highlight the urgent need for greater awareness and understanding of HG, particularly within healthcare settings, to improve diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of patient-centered care and mental health support to address the emotional challenges faced by women with HG.
