Infertility is suffered by many women and men across the globe and is regarded to be a sensitive and taboo topic in some countries. You may be having a hard time trying to conceive a baby. But seeing other couples giving birth to babies can be heartbreaking due to your inability to do so. Without proper and thorough medical examination, it is not just possible to determine if it is the male or the female suffering from infertility issues. Hence, many couples tend to blame one another for the issue. Being a man dominated world, it is mostly assumed that it is the woman who is at fault for not producing a baby.

Infertility & damaging relationship

It is quite human for everyone to starting blaming the others for some action or thing not going the right way. It can be among family members, friends and even in relationship. If there arises a problem, then it is essential to get to the root of it to find out what and who caused this problem. The next thing that is generally investigated is to determine if the problem was caused intentionally or unknowingly. It is here that the blame game tends to start and is found to have damaged many relationships.

When infertility is concerned, couples should look for a viable solution rather than blaming one another for not conceiving a baby. Husbands blaming wife for not conceiving only will affect her self-esteem and self-confidence.

This will also have a negative impact on how she interacts with the others around. At the same time, if the woman blames her husband, then it is likely to affect his masculinity and ego. He may feel emasculated and find not up to the match of his wife. This blame game is likely to break the relationship of the partners, thereby causing pain to everyone concerned.

Identifying & treating issues

The couple faced with infertility problems are likely to undergo severe trauma, mental pain and social negligence. Trying to conceive a baby in such circumstances can also prove to be a long journey, prayers and expenses. Staying together as a couple and avoiding blaming one another can help both to get through this crucial juncture of life! Doctors will check both of them and find out if the problem is reversible and provide adequate medications and therapy. A good number of couple have benefited from being united to tackle this issue and avail of infertility medications.
