Overview

This book explores the profound challenges faced by couples embarking on fertility journeys. This transformative experience can often feel demanding and complex, as each person becomes intensely focused on the quest for procreation, potentially losing sight of their own individuality. Alongside this struggle, issues related to sexual function may arise, leading to conflicts within the partnership, mood disorders, and even the development of addictive behaviors such as overeating or engagement with pornography. This book offers comprehensive knowledge and insights for healthcare professionals as they assist couples in navigating this emotionally charged path. It provides invaluable information to help professionals better understand the intricate emotional and psychological dynamics at play, including the impact of sexual dysfunction and strategies for addressing conflicts within the partnership. The ultimate goal of this book is to empower care providers to guide couples along this path with informed and personalized approaches.
