A good pregnancy starts from the heart.

Patients with infertility often bear pressure from various aspects of society and family. Under significant psychological stress, both men and women may experience many negative emotions, which can severely impact their marriage and family, and are also very detrimental to the treatment of infertility. Research has shown that whether it is men or women, under heavy mental burdens, treatment can be negatively affected. Therefore, psychological care for infertility patients is particularly important.
The causes of psychological pressure for infertility patients mainly come from three aspects: first, pressure from traditional thoughts. As the old saying goes, 'There are three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants.' In our country, passing on the family line is a deeply rooted traditional concept, ingrained in the hearts of Chinese people, especially in rural and remote areas. Therefore, infertility patients feel a sense of guilt due to pressure from family, spouses, and parents. Second, there is pressure from marriage. For a family, children are everything and serve as a bridge between the couple's feelings. It can be said that a family without children is an incomplete family, and this feeling intensifies with age. When a couple learns that they cannot conceive, it is a significant blow to the entire family, leading to a crisis and causing emotional distance between the couple, and even some depressive feelings. Lastly, there is pressure from within. Infertility patients have limited psychological endurance regarding their condition, which is also a source of psychological pressure. Many factors influence the pressure on patients, such as the duration of the illness, the cause of the illness, and their expectations for treatment. The patient's family background and cultural background can also affect their ability to cope with pressure.
Therefore, psychological care for infertility patients is particularly important and urgent. The main measures to alleviate the psychological pressure of infertility patients include:
1. Utilize the support system: Support can be expressed in various forms, such as non-verbal communication, facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures. Of course, appearance, gestures, touch, and the physical environment can also affect the patient's psychology. Therefore, when caring for these patients, it is essential to pay special attention to every word and action. Although the goal of doctors and nurses is to diagnose and treat patients, in practice, they are not just facing a disease, but rather a group of people. Creating a harmonious and warm environment for them is crucial for treatment. They should be shown maximum support, encouraged to communicate with friends and family to gain understanding, care, and concern, and create a relaxed treatment and living environment to help patients eliminate psychological barriers, meet physiological needs, and increase their chances of conception.
2. Increase communication and provide outlets for venting: Under the shadow of infertility, patients inevitably feel anxious and uneasy. It may be helpful to find appropriate outlets for them to vent their negative emotions, as venting is also very important for mental health. Caregivers can have face-to-face conversations with patients, listen to their thoughts and feelings about the illness, and give them the opportunity to express their emotions. This can help clarify the patients' emotions and improve their mindset, enabling them to better face treatment.
3. Provide suitable assisted reproductive technology information based on the patient's actual situation: As caregivers for infertility, it is essential to understand and master the indications and contraindications of various assisted reproductive technologies, as well as the time and costs involved in treatment and surgery. Based on the patient's actual situation, provide them with professional advice and opinions to help them formulate the most suitable treatment plan, reduce unnecessary costs, and save treatment time.
4. Shift psychological pressure and alleviate tension: Help patients change their attitudes, shift their focus, and encourage them to share their feelings with their partner and friends, especially those with similar experiences, to relieve pressure. Encourage them to participate in activities, maintain health, and adapt to treatment needs. Some patients have successfully conceived naturally after stabilizing their emotions. Therefore, appropriate educational work and technical guidance should also be provided. Caregivers should help them understand their condition, conduct examinations, and inform patients of the ultimate goals, methods, and timelines for examinations and treatments, especially the precautions.
Although infertility is not a life-threatening disease, it has its particularities, especially the severe psychological impact it has on patients. These patients endure significant psychological pressure, often living under high mental stress and the torment of social opinion. By providing psychological care for infertility patients, we can grasp and guide their psychological state, alleviate their negative emotions, help them build confidence in treatment, and cooperate with treatment. At the same time, providing suitable assisted reproductive technology information, conducting educational work, and offering treatment technical guidance can help both partners relieve and reduce mental suffering, relax their minds, accept formal treatment, improve pregnancy rates, and enhance their quality of life.
