What is psychogenic infertility?

Nowadays in our lives there are definitely still some couples who cannot conceive, which causes trouble to the whole family. In fact, some couples cannot conceive because of psychogenic infertility. There is a lot of psychological pressure because of not getting pregnant. This will cause psychological illness. So what is psychogenic infertility? Let me introduce it to you today.

Around us, there are many couples who have been married for several years without having children, but miraculously became pregnant after adopting a child. Clinical investigations have shown that psychological depression is significantly correlated with infertility. Adverse psychological factors have become one of the recognized factors of infertility. We call this psychological factor "psychogenic infertility."

As a young couple, failure to get pregnant in time after marriage may be due to some accidental factors, but it is likely to cause psychological pressure on both husband and wife. Therefore, I always have a lucky mentality during every ovulation period, and am full of expectations for pregnancy in the later period of menstruation, but I feel disappointed and frustrated every time my menstruation comes. This kind of psychological pressure repeats itself in a vicious cycle, which aggravates the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, and anovulation, and ultimately leads to the result of "the more you wait, the more infertile you become."

For men, the psychological pressure of infertility can cause various problems in reproductive function, such as impotence, anejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, etc., and the ability to produce sperm will be greatly reduced. According to statistics, infertility caused by psychological factors accounts for about 5% of male infertility. Once a child is adopted, the psychological tension caused by the eagerness to have a child is completely relieved. The emotional relaxation eliminates the negative impact on brain function, and the physical and mental conditions return to normal, making it naturally easier to get pregnant.

For women, the psychological pressure caused by infertility is often greater. Long-term infertility in women, especially after a lot of money and multiple treatments without any effect, often leads to interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, depression, and paranoia. As the marriage age increases and age increases, the psychological pressure becomes heavier, and they may even feel a sense of loss that "there is no successor" and increasingly lack confidence in recovery. This psychological state will inevitably lead to dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system, negatively affect the gonad axis, cause endocrine imbalance and luteal insufficiency, thus inhibiting normal ovulation of the ovaries, making it difficult to become pregnant. An overly tense mental state can also cause fallopian tube spasms and thick cervical mucus, which is not conducive to sperm penetration; it can also make it difficult to achieve orgasm, thereby reducing the pregnancy rate. After adopting a child, you no longer have to worry about whether you will get pregnant. The psychological pressure is relieved, the mind is relaxed, and a series of reproductive functions return to normal, making it easier to conceive.

Since "psychogenic infertility" is caused by psychological pressure and is a "heart disease", it must be treated with "heart medicine". There are many ways of psychological treatment. It requires the help of doctors, family members, and yourself. Only through joint efforts can you create a psychological state that is conducive to pregnancy.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of psychogenic infertility. In fact, you don’t have to care about what people around you say. Just adjust yourself and it will be easier to get pregnant once the psychological pressure disappears. Both family and husband can help their loved ones relieve stress, and talking more will definitely lead to success.
