Infertility
Infertility denotes a longer-unfulfilled wish for children. It has manifold medical causes – in women as in men. At the Kyborg Institute we classify the theme sensitively and on a soul-related level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view and without attribution of blame.
Sensitive – without blame
An unfulfilled wish for children can be very burdening. Some couples experience thereby also pressure, uncertainty or stress. In our reading, it does good to give these soul-related themes room. That is a sensitive observation – expressly no claim about causes. No one is “self to blame”, and infertility is no “deserved life task”.
The reliable way: medical clarification
With an unfulfilled wish for children, the reproductive-medicine clarification is the reliable and primary way – best concerning both partners. It finds possible causes and shows treatment paths. A sensitive, soul-related accompaniment can supplement this, but does not replace it.
What does that mean in practice?
- With a longer-unfulfilled wish for children, have it clarified by a doctor (both partners).
- Take soul-related strain seriously – accompaniment may be.
- Do not let yourself be put under pressure by sentences of blame or interpretation.
Note: This article renders a personal, worldview-based view and is not medical advice. It replaces no medical diagnosis or treatment. For health questions please turn to a doctor or pharmacy; do not discontinue prescribed medication on your own initiative.
Frequently asked questions
Where should one begin with an unfulfilled wish for children?
With a medical assessment in reproductive medicine – it is the reliable and primary way, and it concerns both partners.
Is infertility 'self-inflicted' or a 'life task elsewhere'?
No. Such readings can hurt and are no fact. Infertility has medical causes. Soul-related strains may be taken seriously – as an attribution of blame we reject them.
What role do soul-related factors play?
Stress and worries can burden, but are seldom the sole cause. A sensitive accompaniment can do good – as a supplement to the medical clarification, never in its place.
