Stress and Infertility
Scientists claim to have found a link between stress and infertility. In general chronic stress is known to have adverse affects on people's health; from acne to stomach ulcers and headaches stress induces many ailments. Couples facing infertility issues tend to have high cases of stress. The treatments are costly, time consuming and tend to be emotional for many infertile men and women, thus causing stress.
Science Daily said, "We know stress affects the top-tier reproductive hormone, GnRH, but we show, in fact, that stress also affects another high-level hormone, GnIH, to cause reproductive dysfunction."
The study was done at the University of California, Berkley and will be published in the journal of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The researchers at Berkley are now aware of the links between stress and infertility and will be further researching the issue.
