The Influence of IVF on Couple's Emotion
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the pressure and challenges during IVF may have an impact on the couple's feelings. Next, we will elaborate on the impact of IVF on husband and wife's feelings from four aspects of psychology, society, economy and physiology.
Psychological aspects
The psychological pressure during IVF may have a negative impact on the couple's feelings. First, for couples who cannot conceive naturally, they may feel depressed, disappointed and jealous. The accumulation of such emotions may lead to the inability of both parties to maintain normal communication and interaction, thus aggravating the tension and conflict between husband and wife. Secondly, the long-term treatment process and uncertain results will increase the anxiety and stress of couples, making them more prone to depression and anxiety, and thus have a negative impact on their feelings. In addition, the sense of self blame and guilt of one or both parties may also hinder the couple's feelings.
However, couples can strengthen their feelings through positive psychological adjustment. For example, they can seek psychological counseling or join a support group to share their emotions and feelings. In addition, couples can also participate in relaxation activities, such as travel, sports or meditation, to reduce stress and enhance intimacy.
Social aspects
The treatment of IVF requires frequent hospital visits and long vacations, which may affect the social life and work of couples to some extent. First of all, couples who often need to go to the hospital for treatment may not be able to attend the gathering of friends or family due to time conflict, which leads to estrangement from the social circle. Secondly, couples may need to take long-term leave for treatment, which may affect their career and lead to financial burden and occupational pressure. The influence of these external factors may have a certain negative impact on the feelings of couples.
In order to cope with these social pressures, couples can share their difficulties with friends and family members and seek understanding and support. In addition, couples can communicate with employers to seek flexible work arrangements so as to better balance the needs of work and treatment.
Economic aspects
IVF treatment is an expensive process, which requires high medical costs. This may bring some pressure and instability to the couple's economic situation. First of all, the need to pay high medical expenses may cause economic burden to couples, or even lead to debt accumulation, thus increasing the economic pressure between couples. Secondly, because of the uncertainty of treatment, couples may need to try many times, leading to the accumulation of treatment costs. This kind of economic pressure may have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
Couples can take some measures to cope with economic pressure. First, they can communicate with hospitals or medical insurance institutions to find out whether there are any economic assistance plans or installment payment options. Secondly, the couple can make a reasonable budget to ensure that they can bear the relevant costs and reduce the impact of economic pressure. In addition, they can also seek support from family or friends to help share a part of the cost of treatment.
Physiological aspects
Hormone therapy, surgery and related anesthesia during IVF treatment may have a certain impact on the health of couples. First of all, women may experience emotional fluctuations, weight gain, breast pain and other uncomfortable reactions when receiving hormone therapy, which may make them physically and mentally exhausted. Secondly, surgery and anesthesia may have a certain negative impact on women's body, which requires a long recovery period. These physical discomfort may have an impact on the couple's sexual life and intimate relationship.
In order to cope with the physiological impact, couples can maintain good health, eat and exercise reasonably, and enhance their resistance. At the same time, they can also adjust the drug dosage and treatment timing under the guidance of doctors to reduce the impact of hormones on the body. Couples can also strengthen communication and express their understanding and support for each other to jointly cope with physical discomfort.
Summary
Test tube babies have a complex impact on the feelings of couples. From the psychological, social, economic and physiological aspects, the pressure and challenges during IVF may have a certain negative impact on the couple's feelings. However, couples can strengthen their relationship through positive psychological adjustment, seeking social support, rational economic planning and maintaining good physical health. The difficulties and challenges between husband and wife during IVF can also be opportunities for them to grow together and deepen their feelings.
