Abstract: (1367 Views)
Background: Attention to supporting and treating infertile couples is of great importance in the context of Iran's population policies. Infertility treatment means identifying and addressing the health issues of couples that have caused their inability to conceive. Supporting infertile couples not only helps improve their chances of fertility but also enhances all aspects of their health and well-being. Facing infertility can be considerably challenging for couples, inducing feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Social and psychological support, through counseling services and mental health assistance, can help couples better cope with these challenges and prevent isolation and depression. Attention to the needs and problems of infertile couples can assist policymakers and relevant organizations in designing cultural and health policies and programs tailored to address this challenge and implement necessary improvements in this field. It is essential to establish a culture that upholds respect for couples experiencing infertility and prevents discrimination against them. By promoting the dissemination of accurate information and fostering a culture of empathy and compassion towards infertility, this culture may reduce social tension and lessen the burdens experienced by those coping with infertility. However, attention to supporting and treating infertile couples is not just one aspect of population policy. Instead, it should be one of the important priorities within the framework of a comprehensive program to strengthen population health. Supporting couples struggling with infertility should also be a significant priority within such a program.
