1. Psychogenic infertility refers to infertility thought to be caused by psychological or emotional factors, though modern research shows little evidence that personality or mental stress directly cause infertility.
2. Historically, infertility was often attributed to psychological issues, but views have changed with advances in medicine showing that stress likely impacts the hormonal systems involved in fertility rather than being a direct cause.
3. The relationship between stress and infertility is still not fully understood, but stress related to infertility can impact couples and treatment, so psychological support is recommended regardless of medical factors.
Ovarian reserve refers to the reproductive potential left within a woman's two ovaries based on number and quality of eggs. Diminished ovarian reserve is the loss of normal reproductive potential in the ovaries due to a lower count or quality of the remaining eggs

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Psychogenic
infertility
2. It is a part of unexplained infertility
• The prevalence of psychogenic infertility is
likely to be 5 per cent
3. Historically
• Infertility, particularly "functional"
infertility, was attributed to abnormal
psychological functioning on the part of one
or both members of the couple.
4. In the 1940s and 1950s
• Preliminary work considered "psychogenic
infertility" as the major cause of failure to
conceive in as many as 50% of cases.
5. The Late 1960s
• It was commonly believed that reproductive
failure was the result of psychological and
emotional factors
• Psychogenic infertility was supposed to occur
because of unconscious anxiety about sexual
feelings, ambivalence toward motherhood,
unresolved Oedipal conflict, or conflicts of gender
identity
6. Modern Research
• Fortunately, advances in reproductive endocrinology
and medical technology as well as in psychological
research have de-emphasized the significance of
psychopathology as the basis of infertility
• It shows that there is little evidence to support a role for
personality factors or conflicts as a cause of infertility.
• This perspective unburdens the couple by relieving
them of the additional guilt of thinking that it is their
mental stress that may be responsible for their
infertility.
7. HOW ?? 1
• Hypothalamus regulates both stress responses as well as
the sex hormones,
• Excessive stress may even lead to complete suppression of
the menstrual cycle, and this is often seen in female
marathon runners, who develop "runner's amenorrhea".
• In less severe cases, it could cause anovulation or irregular
menstrual cycles.
• When activated by stress, the pituitary gland also produces
increased amounts of prolactin, and elevated levels of
prolactin could cause irregular ovulation
8. HOW ?? 2
• The female reproductive tract contains
catecholamine receptors
• Catecholamines produced in response to
stress may potentially affect fertility,
• by interfering with the transport of gametes
through the fallopian tube
• or by altering uterine blood flow.
9. HOW ?? 3
• the brain produces special molecules called
neuropeptides, in response to emotions, and these
peptides can interact with every cell of the body,
including those of the immune system.
• In this view, the mind and the body are not only
connected, but inseparable, so that it is hardly
surprising that stress can have a negative influence
on fertility.

14. The relationship between stress and infertility is
still poorly understood today
• While there is little doubt that infertility causes
considerable stress,
• the question
• whether stress can cause infertility,
• and
• whether stress reduction can enhance pregnancy
rates in infertile couples,
• is still very controversial
15. • Although several authors have suggested an
important pathogenic role for psychosocial
factors in ‘functional’ infertility,
the extent to which depression, anxiety and
expressed emotional patterns correlate to
infertility is not yet clear.
16. • Learning of one’s infertility can often generate
depression and lack of sexual desire.
• Work-ups and treatments can interfere with the
couple’s intimacy, and the body image of each
partner.
• Sometimes the final arrival of a child cannot
completely repair felt psychological failure
17. At Present
• whether differences exist regarding
• anxiety, depression, and anger management in
couples with certain organic causes of infertility
(‘organic’ infertility)
• and those with infertility due to certain non-
organic causes (‘functional’ causes).
• Because these couples are exposed to the same
stressor (infertility) the finding of different levels
of anxiety, depression and anger might suggest a
role of these elements in the pathogenesis of
‘functional’ infertility
18. the psychological features of infertility are
based on two contrasting theoretical models
• The first model (psychodynamic-oriented) consider
the role of psychogenic elements among the causes
of infertility (‘psychogenic’ hypothesis);
• or
• The second model consider a psychological distress
is secondary to infertility.
19. Acupuncture and Infertility
• Acupuncture affect both psychological and emotional factors as well as
physical ones.
• For example, extremely painful premenstrual or mid-cycle pain can be
debilitating. This type of physical stress no doubt produces emotional stress as
a result of missed work, interference in activities, and the pain itself, which in
turn can compromise the function of the reproductive system.
• The hormone ACTH, which is released as a response to acupuncture needle
stimuli, has an antiinflammatory effect that may improve fertility (for
example, by improving with tubal factor–based infertility as a response to
pelvic inflammatory disease).
• In addition, the insertion of acupuncture needles has been shown to effectively
increase blood circulation. Enhanced blood flow to the uterine lining
undoubtedly contributes to a healthier and more growth-oriented endometrium,
especially when stimulation acupuncture points known as zigongxue, which
reside above the ovaries.
• Acupuncture releases endorphins that mitigate one’s response to stressful
stimuli, thus enhancing the possibility of conception as stress reduces the
hypothalamic-anterior pituitary-ovarian axis function
20. In a study
• women who were about to undergo IVF were randomly assigned to
receive acupuncture therapy before and after embryo transfer
• In the women who received acupuncture, the needles were placed at
points believed to influence reproductive factors (for example, by
improving blood flow to the uterus).
• The acupuncture group had a higher rate of pregnancy compared with
those not given acupuncture (43% versus 26%), suggesting that
acupuncture can be used to improve pregnancy rates during IVF.
21. Conclusions
• The "psychogenic infertility model" has yet to receive
scientific confirmation
• Equating idiopathic infertility with psychogenic infertility is
counter-productive because it can enhance emotional distress
and feelings of guilt in infertile women/couples
• The prevalence of psychogenic infertility is likely to be 5 per
cent
• Psychological counselling should be offered to all infertile
couples independent of their individual diagnoses
• Main focus in psychological counselling should be to help
couples to cope with infertility and not to uncover
unconscious conflicts towards parenthood
