Psychosomatic aspects of the infertility treatment with the in vitro fertlization method

Abstract

On the example of 114 patients aged 20 to 37 years, from which 84 patients suffered tubal-peritoneal infertility were included in the treatment methods of assisted reproductive technologies. Control group consisted of fertile women. Women with infertility revealed a signifi cant incidence of comorbid psychiatric disorders associated with the stressful effects of IVF treatment, characterized by comorbidity of anxiety and depression with the prevalence of anxiety disorders. The high level of personal anxious and mental maladjustment are risk factors for negative outcome of IVF. Correction of the mental state improves the effectiveness of treatment for women with infertility. Refs 30. Tables 10. Figs 8.
