The complicated interactions between different physiological systems and psychological variables are included in the functional aspects of infertility. Similar to physiological processes like digestion, conception requires both executive and regulating abilities.
The process of conception is a natural function like digestion and other metabolic activities. It has two functional aspects. The Executive function of ovaries, tubes, and uterus. They work together resulting in conception. The controlling function is from the hypothalamus, the seat of emotions which releases hormones GnRH that activates the pituitary to secrete FSH & LH which inter trigger ovary to produce estrogen and progesterone acting on the uterine lining making it a bed for the implantation of the embryo. So the thoughts, beliefs, and emotional impact of infertility influence the hypothalamus to help or prevent conception through hormonal imbalance.
These have been considerable changes in the thinking of society. Earlier when doctors used to tell them everything was fine and they would conceive, people used to accept it. Nowadays they want an explanation of why this problem has occurred and what is the cause of it. Some of them are upset when a problem is detected and they feel that’s the end of it and it’s difficult to come out of it even with treatment.
The case of irregular periods which is associated with polycystic ovaries in 2/3 of cases, is a medical enigma. It is difficult to treat and is becoming more prevalent and it starts from adolescents and youth. In 40% it is associated with obesity. Sometimes the irregular periods start from menarche and in others follow a cause (History of illness, treatment, weight gain or weight loss, change in diet, activity, journey, social events, emotional, stress, etc)
Sometimes it is associated with hormonal imbalances like thyroid, prolactin abnormalities, more androgen levels (testosterone ↑) more insulin levels in obesity, and cholesterol or some genetic etiology is noted.
In obese women, 5-7% weight reduction helps in changing the cycle to regular periods. Lifestyle change in the form of diet and exercise helps in clearing PCO along with drugs.
From the prospective mother’s point of view apart from the change seen in the follicular study and HSG, the subjective change of regular periods and change in premenstrual symptoms and menstrual flow and menstrual date give a lot of confidence, because this subjective change is evidence of improvement of reproductive function. So that they can conceive easily and accept and believe it.
To bring about these changes apart from drugs, specific diet, and exercise play a major role.
Once Premenstrual and menstrual are corrected the premenstrual perceives this subject change as an increase in the functioning of her reproductive system. This gives her confidence that she can conceive and carry and get a very good child.
They need to know and discuss Tests and treatments and should also know the executive functions are in their hands. If they follow proper diet and exercise with interest, the change comes easily and quickly in 3 months.
