How does infertility impact a womans mental health?

When a woman is diagnosed with infertility it impacts the mental health of the person. Being under the stress of not being able to conceive in turn not only impacts the psychological health but also the physical health of a woman. Infertility causes a lot of social and psychological pressure. Stress in the hypothalamus can affect ovulation because the pituitary hormones which regulate ovulation can be affected by the higher centers. Women might even feel a sense of inadequacy in not being able to conceive. It is not just the cause of infertility that leads to distress, it might include the various procedures and tests that it involves.

Tips to reduce stress during fertility treatment:

1- With everyone cooped up inside the house and in each others faces, a woman needs space to clear her mind.

2- Yoga might also prove to be helpful in clearing the mind and having better ovulation/periods. It helps to increase your focus and might help reduce stress and anxiety.

3- Meditation might also be helpful to gain peace of mind.

4- With COVID 19 everywhere, all physical forms of support groups have been suspended. However, there are multiple online support groups that are available. One can share their experiences and their journey with other people struggling or undergoing the same issues. This might help one understand that they are not alone.

5- Talking to your loved ones may also help.

6- Having a good diet might help you have better physical health.
