Let’s Talk How Stress Can Affect The Fertility!

Especially for females, stress can have a real adverse effect on their fertility can become a make cause of infertility.

How Stress Impacts the Fertility?

During the times of extreme stress, female bodies prevent conception; this is because of the release of Adrenalin. Our bodies release Adrenalin during the stressful times, which signal our body that these are not the ideal condition for conception. It also restricts the body from using the essential hormone for fertility that is progesterone. Also, it can result in increasing the level of prolactin by making the pituitary gland to release it, which is another reason for infertility.

Studies have shown that at the time of stress, our body releases stress hormones, which restricts the release of sex hormones. Due to which the ovulation in females is suppressed which results in infertility.

After undergoing various tests at the fertility clinic, you will be getting to know the real reason behind infertility.

A stressed person is considered as an unhealthy person, and an unhealthy person can’t easily conceive a pregnancy in an ideal scenario.
