The Psychological Influence of IVF on Women
With the continuous development of science and technology, IVF technology is becoming more and more mature, and has been widely used in Fuzhou. IVF is an important way of reproduction for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, for women, in addition to realizing their dream of becoming a mother, what impact will IVF bring? The following will explain the impact of IVF on women from the psychological perspective.
Double feelings of hope and anxiety
For women who have been unable to conceive for a long time, IVF technology gives them hope and lets them see the possibility of fertility again. The success rate of IVF is relatively high, which is a shot in the arm for those women who once felt desperate. However, with the beginning of the IVF cycle, anxiety will gradually emerge. Worry about treatment failure, over burdened body, and being unable to bear the psychological blow, etc., these anxiety emotions are common for women in the process of IVF.
When facing this dual feeling, women need to face it positively, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and constantly give themselves positive energy.
Increased psychological pressure
In the process of IVF, women need to receive a series of hormone therapy and surgical procedures, which undoubtedly brings a certain burden to their bodies. In addition to long waiting and uncertainty, women's psychological pressure will gradually increase. They may worry about their physical conditions during treatment, whether their bodies can accept the implantation of embryos smoothly, and whether they can conceive successfully.
Therefore, it is suggested that women should pay full attention to their own mental health during IVF, carry out some stress relieving activities, such as yoga, meditation, etc., and seek support and help from family and friends.
The test of partnership
In the process of IVF, women need to work closely with their husbands to cope with various challenges in the treatment process. This process not only tests the degree of tacit understanding between husband and wife, but also brings some pressure to the partnership. Couples may experience emotional fluctuations due to long treatment time, uncertain effect and other reasons, which may lead to poor communication, quarrels and other problems.
Therefore, in the process of IVF, both husband and wife should maintain good communication, share each other's feelings and pressure, and jointly overcome difficulties.
Self identification and social pressure
For many women, becoming a mother is one of their important roles. However, women who cannot conceive naturally may feel the lack of self-identity and feel incomplete, which will increase their psychological pressure. At the same time, there are still some disputes and misunderstandings about IVF in society, and these external pressures may further affect the psychological state of women.
Faced with this situation, women need to maintain a positive attitude towards life, adjust their emotions, and firmly believe that their value is not only as a mother, but also other identities and roles.
Summary
The psychological impact of IVF on women is complex and diverse. In the process of IVF, women may face the double feelings of hope and anxiety, the increase of psychological pressure, the test of partnership, as well as self identification and social pressure. In order to cope with these impacts, women need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, pay attention to mental health, communicate well with their partners, and establish correct self-identity.
