Infertility can be a source of great stress and anxiety for couples, but did you know that stress itself can hinder conception?
According to a case study published on September 10, 2019, a couple who had been married for 11 years but had not conceived naturally had to seek help through adoption. The couple's infertility remained a mystery until they adopted a child, and it was only then that they discovered the underlying cause of their infertility.
The couple's marital problems, which dated back to the early stages of their courtship, were a major contributor to their infertility. The man had been pressured by his mother to marry his wife, who was from a good family, and he had not felt ready to marry. This pressure had created tension in their relationship, making sex a chore and leading to painful intercourse for both partners.
It was only when the pressure was off, after the grandmother was happy with the adoption, that the wife relaxed and became pregnant. This case study highlights the importance of addressing psychological factors in cases of unexplained infertility.
