What are the psychological pressures of infertile patients?
1. Self-pressure: From their own fertility requirements, some couples are eager to get pregnant once they have been discharged from contraception and are eager to have their own children. They have made detailed plans for which month to get pregnant, which month to give birth, and the pig and horse, and have prepared various parenting facilities, and also advertised them to their relatives and friends. Once you cannot achieve your goal, you will be disappointed, depressed, anxious, and at the same time you will doubt whether you have the ability to give birth to ordinary people.
2. The pressure brought by the disease itself: For infertile patients, in addition to psychological anxiety, the patient's own body's ability to regulate is poor. When under pressure, the patient's psychological guilt gradually increases, and he will do it casually in terms of diet, which leads to a decrease in physical resistance and is prone to infection with various diseases.
3. Pressure of traditional culture: Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "there are three unfilial piety, and no descendants are the greatest". Traditional culture is deeply rooted and unshakable. Therefore, while facing social and family pressure, infertile patients have never been able to get out of the circle of their understanding of tradition. Although people's ideology and culture are gradually improving with the continuous improvement of living standards in modern society, their understanding and tolerance of infertility have not been completely liberated. Therefore, traditional culture is also one of the reasons why patients with infertility and have special psychological pressure.
4. Emotional: Infertile patients usually experience anxiety, depression, sensitivity and other emotions. Relevant studies show that most infertile patients are prone to tension, anger, impulse and other emotions after diagnosing the disease. The anxiety and depression of normal women of childbearing age is significantly lower than that of women of infertile women. Some experts also show that the anxiety and depression of infertile patients will lead to the family’s disappointment and husband’s inappropriate situations.
For patients with infertility psychological disorders, psychological treatment methods are multifaceted, both relying on psychiatrists, as well as family members and themselves.
For infertile patients, we should respect them, care about them, and be considerate of them. We should not discuss topics about infertility in daily life. Family members should not complain, scold or sarcasm intentionally or unintentionally. What we need is guidance, encouragement and help. This is not only conducive to the recovery of patients, but also conducive to family harmony and social stability.
