Traditionally infertility has been viewed as a medical condition and has been managed within the medical model of diagnosis, treatment, and cure. The prevalence of infertility has been medically explained by women's sexual promiscuity, pursuit of professional career advancement, and psychological immaturity. Although authors have recently recognized an equitable proportion of infertility problems attributable to male factors, the vast majority of infertility testing and treatment procedures remain directed toward women. Reproductive technologies and their potential for perpetual treatment create a scenario of vulnerability for the infertile woman, which demands the attention of care providers who advocate feminist values of health. In this article, we present a historical overview of infertility and offer a feminist perspective for providing physical and emotional health care to infertile women. Strategies for integrating feminist perspectives of health into infertility programs are discussed.
传统上，不孕症一直被视为一种医学病症，并在诊断、治疗和治愈的医学模式下进行处理。不孕症的患病率从医学角度被解释为女性的性滥交、追求职业发展以及心理不成熟。尽管近期作者们已经认识到相当比例的不孕症问题可归因于男性因素，但绝大多数不孕症检测和治疗程序仍然针对女性。生殖技术及其持续治疗的可能性为不孕女性营造了一种脆弱的局面，这需要倡导女性主义健康价值观的护理人员予以关注。在本文中，我们呈现了不孕症的历史概述，并为向不孕女性提供身体和情感健康护理提供了女性主义视角。我们还讨论了将女性主义健康视角融入不孕症项目的策略。
