Everything in the head: the psychological component of infertility

First, statistics, which, although a “sale girl of the bourgeoisie”, nevertheless reflect the state of affairs in space.

At the moment, only a statistical study for 2011 is available. Given that this process is inertial, we can assume that the figures reflect the current reality.

Okay.





Russian infertility.



The final report on the results of the Selective Survey of Reproductive Health of Russian Women (VORZ-2011) is a joint work of Rosstat, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the United Nations Population Fund and a number of other organizations. Monitoring has become a reference point for national assessments.

In Russia:

  • 3.2% of women aged 20 to 44 are unable to bear children after a previous birth.
  • Another 1.9% of women cannot give birth at all.
  • Nearly 5 percent of women who have ever been married say they or their partners have been diagnosed with infertility.


To clarify the diagnosis more often resorted to women over 30 years and with a higher level of education.

In men, the indicator fluctuates in the area of 3-4%.

That is, about 6 million women and about 4 million men have the corresponding diagnosis.

In Russia, about 4.5-5 million families cannot conceive a child without medical care. This is about 15-20% of the population of reproductive age – from 15 to 49 years (the same, according to many experts, including the World Health Organization, and the global share of infertile couples – about 15%).

Due to improved diagnosis, the rate of diagnosis of infertility is growing by about 2-5% per year. Remember who is sad, who is a joyful joke - "but you do not spend on contraceptives."





The problem of childbearing is so significant, given the demographic situation and the tendency to gradual extinction of the so-called titular nation in the Russian Federation, that large sums are poured into solving this problem, up to the fact that IVF (in vitro fertilization) is done at the expense of the health budget.

The cost of an IVF child is also beneficial in Russian conditions. In Russia, investments in the birth of one test tube child are 7-45 times lower than future tax revenues from the participation of these children in social production. ?

An article by Nina Rusanova, a leading researcher at the Institute of Socio-Economic Population Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was published in the Journal of Social Policy Research at HSE, Volume 11, No. 1 for 2013.



Reason.



Among 4% of infertile women, 36% had problems with ovulation, 30% had obstruction of the fallopian tubes, 18% had endometriosis, 15% had other conditions that affected their fertility, in some cases several diagnoses were mentioned. 28% could not get pregnant due to a problem identified in the partner - sperm or sperm apathology.





None of these diagnoses are definitive or irrevocable. Then, after the fact of pregnancy, it turns out that the fallopian tubes are passable, and ovulation is sufficient.

The only moment when at the moment it is impossible to give birth is the physical absence of the corresponding organ, i.e. the uterus or the entire organ complex (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries).

Of course, if you come to the examination, you will find 100,500 causes, from inflammation and all sorts of bacteria to changes in acidity, hormone disturbances and so on and so forth. In a word, heal and heal, and then how the Lord will decide / How the map will lie / How fate will dispose / Let’s look at the dynamics (to emphasize).

Oddly enough, the female body is much better protected than the male. All the reproductive organs of a woman are hidden in the thickness of the body. Multilevel and cascading duplication of the synthesis and release of hormones and corresponding organs - pituitary-adrenal-ovarian-fat tissue, which is still supported by nervous regulation. Administration, including the principle of “feedback”, in a woman comes from the controlling vegetative structures of the brain.

In this respect, generally speaking, male Simply put, nervous regulation prevails over hormonal regulation. That is, in order for a man to have problems of a sexual nature, it is enough to have his own and / or external verbal attitudes of a long nature (mother and father: "What a man you are, you are a rag, none of the girls will want to be friends with you") or in moments of his vulnerability, including children's games ("yes, you are a weakling"). And, as a result, the inability to deliver your biological material to the address (other ways of delivery outside the discussion of this article).

A woman. It's simpler and harder. Even if you have your own installations such as “it’s dirty”, “only bad girls do this”, “you will never have children”, “no one will marry you”, “how can you have children when you do not brush your teeth”, the childbearing process continues to function. And in order to interfere in this process, you need to seriously try - abortions, experiments on yourself in the form of endless weight loss, exhaustion of yourself, "teaching / educating" parents, psychotrauma, as a rule, is a coalition of internal attitudes and fears, accompanied by any diagnoses.

Of course, an experienced doctor will explain to you why you cannot (infection / ovarian cyst / spike after surgery) and so on and so forth.





And, it is worth saying that the psychological component of infertility in its specific weight (almost 99.9%) pulls on itself the whole painful symptom complex, which is childlessness.

In any case, the fact that it is impossible to get pregnant means that some psychological attitudes are fixed in the psychological picture of this girl and continue to function.

And since the head is a certain component of the mental process of our psyche, the psyche is the point through which it is possible to edit the process (psychotherapy) of the functioning of childbearing.

At the same time, of course, when you have a doctor's prescription, prescribed procedures - they should be followed and continue to adhere to them.

Can you tell me, what about the psyche here, I have inflammation that does not go away and I am going to treat / operate / rehabilitate / etc. (choose), and here I am talking about the psyche and psychotherapy?

Due to the fact that when there is a dominant / setting "do not have" children in the head, the rest (infections, obstruction, etc.) is called upon to "serve / protect" this fact. In order to somehow protect the consciousness that it is not me, but this “buck” prevents me / us from having a child. Also, by the way, a successful tool in the behavior of some women who do not want children and need sponsorship. Also, by the way, the field of activity for a psychotherapist. published
