Infertility

Infertility denotes a longer-unfulfilled wish for children. It has manifold medical causes – in women as in men –, which reproductive medicine examines in both partners and for which there are treatment paths. At the Kyborg Institute we classify the theme sensitively and on a soul-related level.

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. No one is “self to blame”, and infertility is no “deserved life task”.

What does that mean in practice?

Frequently asked questions

What does infertility mean?

A longer-unfulfilled wish for children. The causes are manifold and medical – in women as in men.

Is infertility 'self-inflicted' or a 'life task elsewhere'?

No. Such readings can hurt. Infertility has medical causes; soul-related strains may be taken seriously, but there is no blame in 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.
