If a woman is undergoing high levels of stress, ovulation may be delayed in her cycle or she may not even ovulate.
If you are one of those who is worried and worried all the time, we have bad news for you: a study affirms that women with high levels of stress can ovulate up to 20 percent months , while the possibility that their eggs are fertilized decreases 30 percent.
As if that were not enough, complications extend to men , since stress also affects the quality of seminal fluid.
This is due to the fact that this factor has too many effects on the reproductive process, both natural and in relation to insemination treatments.
According to Joaquín Conesa, specialist in Psychology at Hospital Quirónsalud Murcia, stress damages vary from person to person.
The fact is that stress damages the functioning of the hypothalamus, a gland that we have in the brain and that is responsible for regulating appetite, emotions and hormones that signal the ovaries to release eggs.
In this way, if a woman is involved in high levels of stress, it is possible that ovulation is delayed in her cycle or she may not even ovulate.
Stress can affect the functioning of the hypothalamus (the gland in the brain that regulates appetite, emotions, and hormones that signal the ovaries to release eggs). If a woman is very stressed, she may ovulate later in her reproductive cycle, or may not even ovulate.
According to the expert, if the woman who is stressed is looking to get pregnant, the cervical discharge will send a signal that something is not right.
Another effect of stress is that women begin to eat excessively, a factor that increases fat cells, interferes with hormonal balance and, therefore, affects fertility.
The point is that, according to specialist doctors, a lower volume of semen is common in men with chronic stress, as well as erectile dysfunction.
On the other hand, women who have elevated levels of cortisol in their body, known as the stress hormone, face many complications in getting pregnant.
So if you are really stressed, we suggest you address the problem as soon as possible.
