A STUDY ON THE PSYCHO SOCIAL PROBLEMS OF INFERTILE WOMEN

Ms. Leena Chandran, Dr. Suja M. K

Abstract :

INFERTILITY: When a living thing cannot reproduce or give birth to its own offspring by their natural means of reproduction we call them as infertile or this inability is called infertility. This can be in the case of human beings, animals and plants. Both male and female partners contribute to infertility. Some of the infertilities can be treated well through medical interventions. In total we can say that 20%–35% of infertility is due to female problems, 20%–30% are due to male problems and 25%–40% infertility problems are due to combination of both male and female factors and no cause is ruled out for 10%–20% of cases. The psychological and social trauma that infertility gives is much more that they can’t perform normal in their social life. So many cases of depression and anxiety due to infertility problem have reported and so many of them lead to committing suicide.
