Hello,
Pregnancy test shows positive result when HCG hormone level is high in the urine. This is usually seen with pregnancy. But many other conditions like ovarian cyst, hormonal imbalance, PCOS (polycystic ovary disease) can also cause false positive pregnancy test. So consult a gynecologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
