We studied a prospective cohort of 434 couples in Northern California and found that 13% did not pursue any form of infertility treatment after their initial consultation. Although age, education, and financial concerns remain important for patients in choosing whether to pursue infertility treatment, depressive symptoms may also be a barrier to achieving reproductive goals.
我们在北加利福尼亚研究了一个前瞻性队列的 434 对夫妇,发现 13%的夫妇在初次咨询后没有选择任何形式的不孕治疗。尽管年龄、教育和经济问题对患者选择是否进行不孕治疗仍然很重要,但抑郁症状也可能成为实现生殖目标的障碍。
