When receiving a diagnosis of infertility, affected people receive news that completely changes their conception of life. For specialists, the emotional approach to infertility is similar to that of a chronic disease, so it is important that this situation is faced by an expert in the psychology of human reproduction.
And although many people think that infertility is an issue that only touches and moves women, men also feel affected when they know that they have difficulty having children. And although some refuse to talk about the issue with their family or friends, over time it has been found that many more men consult specialists to learn about the problem in depth and work on it.
From psychology, many emotions intersect in the life of a person affected by the impossibility of conceiving that make that person lose the balance of their own existence: many put aside their obligations in their work or studies, stop eating and sleeping, move away from their most intimate circle and feel sadness. frustration and anguish towards the future.
In men, knowing that there are difficulties in their fertility means that even their sexual response is affected by emotions such as anxiety, stress and depression. For this reason, many gynecologists, urologists and specialists in human reproduction usually combine medical treatments with psychological and psychiatric help for affected patients, as controlling their emotions is essential for the success of infertility management.
In the couple, the issue becomes neuralgic for the stability of the couple, since men and women handle the problem in a completely different way: while women need to talk about the issue and seek information about their own case, men withdraw and decide to keep their emotions quiet, which often causes friction in the couple that can damage their relationship in the long term.
Due to the handling of this situation, many women think that their partners do not seem very interested in the subject, or that they are not interested in the situation they are going through. But the truth is that men also want solutions to the problem and, above all, they want these difficulties not to destabilize the harmony in the home they have formed.
The message for all those men and women who are currently going through a diagnosis of infertility is that the correct management of their emotions also influences the process of conceiving a baby through the various medical treatments that exist today to achieve that goal.
