Stress causes barrenness,
however is one reason for weight gain as well. Ordinarily stress may wreckage
up our cerebrum's reward System and may make us need progressively fat and
sugar. Stress is certainly not a valid justification to get oneself a burger or
chocolate or truckloads of frozen yogurt.
Too much stress may cause
infertility among women. Women with high levels of stress were 29 per cent
less likely to get pregnant. Meanwhile, men who work in night shifts are
affected more as compared to others, as their biological clock gets disturbed.
They sleep during the day and to keep themselves awake, they often smoke, which
damages the system further. The stress at the workplace and sitting for long
hours at work stations is also found to reduce the sperm count.
Factors contributing to
stress, which causes infertility are: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as
smoking, alcohol, drugs, marital disturbance, job or business stress, personal
injury or illness, death of close family member, late marriages. Women with
hectic jobs are most at risk and often in denial about the stress in their
lives. In fact, consuming high-fat
foods is more likely to lead to weight gain. Also, when we are stressed, we
also may be more likely to drive into a fast-food place, rather than taking the
time and mental energy to plan and cook a meal.
How to deal with stress
Women are often found
more stressed than men. Trying to get pregnant adds more pressure on already
stressed out women. But thanks to technology, we have found treatment for
infertility through IVF or IUI. On
the other hand, women as well as men are also trying stress management
techniques to overcome this problem.
There are numerous
methods for decreasing stress available today, including learning relaxation
techniques such as yoga or meditation and stress
management strategies, going for a vacation, deep breathing exercises, etc.
Counselling sessions for couples where they can freely speak their mind also
helps in overcoming the problem.
