Doctors: Talk Therapy Newest Hope For Treating One Physical Side Effect Of Holiday Blues
Physicians at Indiana's largest
group of reproductive medical specialists are encouraged by new research
pointing toward an age-old but often overlooked treatment for one annual
healthcare phenomenon -- the year end holiday blues, which doctors say can
actually have physical effects on the body's reproductive system.
According to mental health counselors, many couples unable to conceive
anticipate the holidays with dread. "For them, the end of the year becomes
another marker in their inability to have children," said Deidra T. Rausch,
Ph.D., L.M.F.T., an Indiana counselor specializing in infertility. "Plus,
the seasonal emphasis on family can become a painful reminder of their
ongoing struggles."
Fertility physicians believe that reducing stress is key for many
infertility patients, with potential for both mental and physical benefits.
On the physical side, stress signals the pituitary gland that the body is
in trouble, said Laura Reuter, M.D., medical director at Midwest Fertility
Specialists.
"This can slow the release of the luteinizing hormone, which in turn
triggers ovulation," Reuter said. "Even if ovulation occurs, a shortage of
the luteinizing hormone could mean a lower level of progesterone, a hormone
necessary to nourish and sustain an embryo's implantation and early
development."
However, now comes scientific evidence strongly supporting a common
treatment that may be under-utilized: talk therapy. Research from Emory
University presented at a major European fertility conference in Prague
showed that stress-related infertility could be reversed with such therapy.
Among those who participated in a course of cognitive behavior therapy and
relaxation techniques, six of the eight women regained full fertility, with
one showing some signs of restored ovarian function and two later became
pregnant within two months. The eight women who received no treatment, one
recovered her fertility while another showed signs of ovarian function.
According to research firm Wirthlin Worldwide, 43 percent of women ages
18 to 34 reported an increase in stress during the holidays, while 37
percent of men 18 to 34 did. In addition, almost 52 percent of the women,
ages 35 to 54, said their stress levels go up during the holidays and 40
percent of surveyed men in the same age bracket said their stress levels
increase with the holidays.
"Infertility treatment that incorporates the services of a mental
health professional can help patients alleviate persistent feelings of
depression or anxiety, improve diminished self-esteem, and lead patients to
strengthen their marital relationship and return to a satisfying sexual
life," said Rausch, who practices at The Cabin: A Family Counseling &
Resource Center in Zionsville, Ind.
RESOLVE, The National Infertility Association, offers couples the
following tips to cope with the holidays:
-- Be selective about accepting invitations to parties and holiday
celebrations, especially the ones at which you know there will be a
lot of children or pregnant women. Remember: you don't have to say
yes.
-- Spend time doing things you like best: preparing a spectacular meal,
taking long walks, going horse-back riding or jogging, or curling up
by a fire with a good novel.
-- Don't be caught off guard by unexpected or embarrassing questions
about your plans for having a family.
Plan your responses, but don't feel that you have to disclose all the
details of your situation either!
