Li Wen's impression left by everyone is more of "sunshine, confidence, and warmth". The hardships that ordinary people may find unbearable, such as being tormented by leg diseases, experiencing multiple betrayals from her husband, and 9 failures in IVF, seem to have been gradually eliminated by her resilient heart. Even the recent posts on Weibo gently encourage fans to pick themselves up. She was like a friendly friend around us, warmly greeting in the morning, and in the blink of an eye, she had already dissipated into the sea of people. The person has passed away, and deep thoughts persist. The music and power of CoCo will continue to support us forward. The causes of depression are very complex, with a prevalence rate of 3.4% among Chinese adults. A recent study in 2023 showed that the incidence of anxiety disorder and depression in infertile patients was 25.2% and 31.3%, respectively. Far higher than the general population. The 2019 China Maternal and Child Health Progress and Outlook Report suggests that the infertility rate in China is as high as 10% -15%, and nearly 50 million people are facing the problem of infertility. This means that nearly 15 million infertile patients suffer from depression. As the online platform that aggregates the most infertile population, Reproductive Medicine Space would like to call on everyone to have more understanding and care for the infertile population.

What is the relationship between negative emotions and infertility?

If women are in a state of anxiety and tension for a long time, it often leads to endocrine disorders, manifested as anovulation and menstrual cycle disorders. As is well known, ovulation and menstrual cycles are regulated by the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian gonadal regulatory axis. The hypothalamus plays a leading role, equivalent to the "headquarters", which sends signals to the outside world. When a person is irritable, angry, or emotionally depressed, they will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus and be unable to give instructions. Therefore, if an egg cannot develop, mature, and ovulate, pregnancy becomes impossible.

For test tube couples, negative emotions can affect the female's endocrine system, affecting the maturation and quality of follicles. If the male partner is under too much pressure or in a bad mood, it may lead to a series of male health problems such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Excessive mental stress can even affect the quality of sperm. The greater the pressure or the lower the mood, the more likely it is to affect the outcome of pregnancy, and in the long run, it may form a vicious cycle.

There are many patients with psychological disorders. Unfortunately, some people can understand that asthma patients cannot breathe normally, but they cannot believe that patients with mental illness cannot "think more". People's experiences may be different, and many things cannot be empathetic, but we must learn to understand, tolerate, and respect the choices of others. Not evaluating, guiding, or discussing is the best way to protect them. Wishing everyone happiness and health.
