Psychological barriers in infertility patients

  Infertility is a common disease in women, but its causes are quite complex and may have both organic and functional disorders, as well as psychological causes. In a significant proportion of patients, the emphasis is on organic lesions, the disregard is on functional disorders, and the neglect is on psychological disorders.  Psychological disorders can also lead to infertility and are also diseases, which also require careful treatment. It is especially important to emphasize that psychological disorders are more painful, more troublesome, and more in need of early treatment for patients.  The psychological disorders of female infertility patients are mainly reflected in low self-esteem, restlessness, nervousness, reduced socialization, lack of interest in life, restlessness and anger, and reluctance or avoidance to talk with others about fertility matters, which is especially prominent among infertility patients with low literacy level in rural areas. Long-term infertility in women, especially when multiple treatments do not work, often leads to interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, depression, and paranoia, and with the prolongation of marriage and age, the psychological pressure becomes heavier, and some even have the sense of loss that there is no one to succeed them.  For patients with psychological disorders of infertility, the main treatment should be psychological. Psychological treatment is multi-faceted, and it depends on the doctor as well as family members and oneself.  For those who have obvious symptoms of psychological disorder, they should go to a formal doctor for consultation in a formal hospital in time to clarify the cause of infertility, distinguish whether it is relative or absolute infertility, and take corresponding treatment measures on the basis of a clear disease to relieve the pain of infertility as soon as possible. It is important to emphasize that patients must raise their awareness, understand medical knowledge, enhance their ability to control diseases and adapt to infertility, and not be baffled by momentary infertility or be upset by a certain disease. Negative psychology can only increase the degree of disease, while positive psychology is beneficial to dispel the disease. A lot of clinical data proves that excessive mental tension and psychological disorders often lead to endocrine dysfunction and ovulation disorders, creating a situation where the more you want to get pregnant, the harder it is to get pregnant. It is important for patients and their families to understand this truth.  In the process of treatment, family members should not be neglected, and they should respect, care and be considerate to the infertility patients. They should be psychologically healthy, reduce doubts, worries, self-blame and low self-esteem, and refrain from complaining, refraining from avoiding medical treatment and not taking the bull by the horns. Reducing the psychological barriers of infertility patients can not only improve the natural conception rate, but also improve the quality of life of the patients, which is indeed an issue that deserves high attention from the whole society. We hope that infertility patients will self-regulate and conceive a baby as soon as possible.
