Abstract
According to WHO, INFERTILITY is defined as the inability to obtain pregnancy despite a regular yearly sexual activity without the use of contraceptives. [21] Infertility is a very peculiar disorder. Contrary to any other, it always involves two young people in a period of their life when they are the most active. The inability to fulfil one of the most basic desires of man, conceiving a child, exerts a very strong influence on the psycho-emotional state of the couple, it is conducive to changes in the functioning of family, frustration and lower self-esteem in the society. [14] Having a child is the most important biological aim of man, which allows the survival of mankind. Childlessness is an issue involving 15% of married couples in Poland and may lead to misunderstandings and marital conflicts (also family conflicts), as well as to lower self-esteem of the woman and, sometimes, the man. The desire to have a child is usually so intense that often it overrides all other problems and life ambitions. Depending on the framework, different psychological factors are emphasized in the etiopathogenesis of fertility disorders. Psychosomatic conceptions show that psychological factors play a substantial role in the formation and continuation of fertility disorders. They assume that all links of the long chain of reproductive functions may be influenced by disorders as a result of adverse stimuli. The influenced functions may be as follows: sexual needs and activity, ovulation and sperm transport, the transport and the implantation of ovum, its development and maturation up till the beginning and the course of pregnancy.
