Psychological Impacts of Infertility and Other Reproductive Technologies
Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Individuals and couples all over the world find incapacity to conceive children to be a distressing circumstance. Infertility has a wide range of implications, including societal pressure as well as personal distress. Advances in assisted reproductive technologies, like as IVF, can give many couples hope where treatment is accessible, yet there are still challenges to overcome in terms of medical coverage and expense. The medicalization of infertility has unknowingly resulted in a dismissal of couples' emotional responses, which include distress, loss of control, stigmatization, and a disruption in their adult developmental trajectory. Evidence is accumulating that there is a link between fertility treatment stress and patient drop-out and pregnancy rates. Fortunately, psychological therapies for infertility patients, particularly those emphasizing stress management and coping-skills training, have been demonstrated to be useful.
