Stress affects fertility. Don’t worry, be happy!

Stress can cause women infertility. Such is a result of the new study. It explains some cases when couples were diagnosed a case of infertility for no discernible reason. The problem can become a vicious cycle: people are nervous because conception does not begin for a long time, and it does not happen just because the couple is under stress.
Doctors have noticed that there is a relationship between the total stress of everyday life and infertility. Infertile women are always recommended to avoid stress situations. According to the statistic about one of 7 couples has fertility problems. About quarter of them do not receive any medical explanation of such problem. Their diagnosis is "unexplained infertility".
Research group Courtney Denning-Johnson Lynch gathered saliva samples of 373 women who have just started trying to conceive a child in a natural way. Then scientists measured the level of alpha - amylase enzyme, marker of stress in these samples. Total scientists observed 501 women at the age of 18 - 40.
After a year of regular unprotected sex about 13 % of couples could not get pregnant. Third of women who had the highest alpha - amylase rate were in the infertile group.
According to Dr. Lynch, stress may be responsible for some cases of unexplained infertility. Understanding of this fact can help couples to take the necessary measures. He says "If you have some trouble conceiving a baby during about five - six months it is reasonable to seek some way to relieve stress. It is known that yoga, meditation, or just a normal daily training significantly reduce stress. It’s better to try to find the method that suits your lifestyle best of all".
