Emotional Contributors to Infertility

There are myriad contributors to infertility, and some of them can be effectively managed with medications and surgical interventions, however there are some causes of infertility that cannot be addressed with a pill or a scalpel.

Emotions play a huge role in our overall well-being. Whether we are angry, depressed, anxious, exhilarated or content, our bodies respond to these feelings with internal changes that can include:

• altered blood flow
• constriction or relaxation of muscles
• constriction or relaxation of blood vessels
• release of hormones and regulatory chemicals
• changes in brain wave patterns
