Worry = infertility

Too much stress and worry may lower the chances of getting pregnant and cause infertility

A new study by researchers of the Ohio University, USA has found that stressed women are nearly 30 percent less likely to get pregnant and twice more likely to be diagnosed as 'infertile'.
Stress was measured by measuring a specific bio-marker.

Researchers tracked 501 American women ages 18 to 40 years who were free from known fertility problems and were trying to conceive.

American experts said results of this research should encourage women who are experiencing difficulty getting pregnant to consider managing their stress using stress reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation and visiting a psychiatrist.

MY INPUTS - THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STUDY IN CONTEXT WITH INDIAN SOCIETY.
I CAN SPEAK ABOUT CITIES LIKE NAGPUR AND MUMBAI WHERE I AM PRACTISING AS A GYNECOLOGIST.
A great majority of woman who come with infertility problem talk about a great amount of emotional distress they have.
In many cases eliminating this distress has helped them conceive within weeks.
The most common stressful situations which my infertility patients talk to me, include -
1. Not marrying a person of your choice.
2. Not getting along with in-laws. (specially mother-in-law)
3. Feeling of loneliness, as husband loves but doesn't express it.
4. Financially unsatisfied
5. Problems with husband or cheating husband
6. lack of sex due to incompatibility in bed.
