Evidence-Based Homoeopathy in the Management of Primary Infertility: A Case Report

Abstract

Infertility is the most common disorder now a days. Infertility is often a silent struggle. Patients who are struggling to conceive report feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation, and loss of control. It is estimated that 1 in 8 couples (or 12% of married women) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. (7) Despite the prevalence of infertility, the majority of infertile women do not share their story with family or friends, thus increasing their psychological vulnerability. The inability to reproduce naturally can cause feelings of shame, guilt, and low self - esteem, distress, and a poor quality of life. It has been hypothesized since history that stress can hamper fertility. This raises one of the most compelling mind/body questions: does infertility cause stress or does stress cause infertility? The answer thus far is not clear; the relationship between stress and infertility may not have a clear cause and effect direction. So, it becomes very important issue to explore on this subject in order to improve the fertility problem of the population. This article will review the effect of mental condition on infertility with the help of case study.
