Psychological aspects in assisted reproduction

For specialists, there are two fundamental aspects to consider in assisted reproduction :

  • How it affects the couple to know they have reproductive problems.
  • Psychological help during the different phases of treatment.

Facing infertility

When faced with a diagnosis of infertility, there are different ways of dealing with the situation. Ideally, the couple, if stable and with a solid base try to find a solution to the problem they have, jointly and maturely, preventing this setback from affecting their relationship.

In the case of women, the emotional ups and downs of the situation itself, we must add the treatment itself.
