Fertility problems in marriage are serious
The experts urged families and friends of couples with fertility and pregnancy issues to be sensitive in their communications so as not to hurt their emotions, cause psycho-social problems and, in some cases , destroy their relationships.
This warning was given during the 6th edition of the Live, Move, Have Your Being (LMB) seminar series.
Live, Move, Have Your Being (LMB), a non-profit Christian organization that provides support services to families – men and women struggling with fertility and pregnancy issues – held its first 2019 seminar in Takoradi, in the western region. The theme was "Challenges related to infertility and pregnancy; effects on marriage and relationships.
During the first part of the event, Maria Agozie, an insurance expert, recounted the difficulties she and her husband had experienced as a result of external pressure from family and friends as they struggled to conceive for a decade.
"The first 10 years of marriage were very difficult for me and my husband when we had trouble conceiving. Although we are Christians, the pressures exerted by family, friends and church members have sometimes even affected our communication as a couple. It was a very difficult time for our marriage, "said Ms. Agozie.
Ms. Agozie said the ultimate reason for the wedding was not just procreation but also the establishment of a deep friendship. She therefore encouraged couples experiencing such fertility and pregnancy-related problems not to let the pressures and anxieties reach them, but rather to live their lives while they wait for God's children.
She said, "Do not shut the door and cry every day. This will not solve the problem. Live your life; to travel, to take up a new challenge; read more, help others; go back to school, "adding that" if your life stops because of infertility or pregnancy problems, one day you will be upset. "
The event, organized by Mahogany Consult and organized by the ICGC Fijai Assembly, also had a group discussion on the topic.
The Panel – Dr. Joana Larry-Afutu, Clinical Psychologist, Ghana Armed Forces, Dr. Seth Fenyi, Jemima Crenstil Hospital Physician, Takoradi and Reverend Frank Bioh, Chief Pastor, Assembly of Lt. ICGC Fijai, Takoradi – discussed the effects of infertility on marriages and relationships.
Dr. Fenyi cited several cases of relationship problems between couples resulting from infertility and pregnancy-related problems. He explained to the public that cases of infertility at the global level can be attributed to health problems in women (30%), men (30%), the remaining 40% factor being clbadified as a variable unknown by scientists.
"So we should not be ready to accuse women of every problem of infertility. It's breaking houses every day, "he said.
Reverend Bioh stated that "society must not only be informed of the consequences of certain comments made to couples who have difficulty conceiving, but it must also be encouraged to help people who are suffering from such fertility problems". He said that if society understood what couples with infertility were going through, they would be more sensitive to fertility issues.
According to Dr. Larry-Afutu, "Fertility and childbirth are a fundamental human motivation and cultural expectation" as such, couples tend to be stressed and frustrated at the slightest sign of infertility causing tensions between the spouses.
Dr. Larry stated that "when people get involved in the business of couples, intentionally or unintentionally, this eventually creates undue stress," adding that some physical manifestations of psychological stress on couples include "l '". inability of men to produce mature and healthy results. Sperm and women do not produce hormones that stimulate the ovulation necessary for conception. "
It was also advised to couples trying to conceive of coping with the pressures of society by choosing to rate their comments as unhealthy and that it was not necessary to linger over it. Dr. Larry-Afutu noted that "people who do poorly manage these external pressures tend to be easily irritable, tense, etc., which further deteriorates their health."
Ms. Baaba Cofie, founder of LMB, asked the public to inform families and friends of the negative effects of the company's outside interference on couples struggling with infertility and encouraged them to become ambbadadors to help couples struggling with infertility and pregnancy issues.
"Do not stigmatize people (especially women) who have problems with childbirth. It's our duty as friends, families, neighbors and colleagues to support, encourage and pray for them, "said Ms. Cofie.
