Which Couples Should Consider Infertility Counseling?

Counseling for infertility is helpful for any couple or person facing infertility in any capacity. Some situations include:

Primary Infertility

When a couple is unable to have a child, it is known as primary infertility. Counseling can help them overcome this void if they are not comfortable being without progeny.

Secondary Infertility

Some couples face infertility after successfully having a child. It is known as secondary infertility. According to Khaleej Times, UAE has the highest secondary infertility rates in the world, so it is a big challenge for the community.

Alternate Methods

Some couples try alternate methods like adoption, which has challenges of its own as well. An infertility counselor can also be of help in such cases.

Financial problems

As fertility treatments are expensive, those getting them might also have to face the added stress of making ends meet.

Physical Toll

Mental health issues take a great toll on one’s body. With fertility, the pressure is greater as the physical body is failing. Those undergoing fertility treatments must bear a greater physical toll too.

Relationship Issues

Fertility has a profound impact on relationships. There is fear of abandonment, exploitation, intimacy issues, and a lot of pressure about having a baby.
