Stress and Information Therapy in Infertile Young Couples

Caterina Visco

After one year of frequent unprotected intercourse, infertility is defined as the inability to conceive. This illness is also linked to a variety of social, psychological, physical, and economical pressures. Infertility affects one out of every five couples, and the number of infertile couples rises by two million every year. Infertility affects between 10% and 15% of couples in the United States, and about 20% of the western population. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), which is widespread among such couples, aims to heal infertility by using techniques that circumvent natural fertilisation. In such couples, infertility therapy is generally accompanied by a lot of stress. In Women who take ART are more likely than the general population to experience worry, stress, and depression, according to studies. Women, on the other hand, are more susceptible to stress than men. Infertility and psychiatric illnesses have a strong link. The "stress theorem" is based on the idea that elevated stress precedes and causes infertility. Gallinelli found a strong link between stress and infertility in his research. Infertile couples had greater levels of blood cortisol and Corticotropin Hormone (CRH) than the general population, according to their findings. Other research has pointed to the harmful impact of increased stress on ART and reproductive therapy success rates.
