Q My stress has gotten severe as conceiving takes longer. Does the mind really affect pregnancy too?
A Yes, excessive stress can disturb the hormonal axis and autonomic nervous system that regulate ovulation, affecting menstrual rhythm and pregnancy preparation. Easing tension through a regular routine and sufficient rest helps.
Detailed Answer
When preparing for pregnancy drags on, that itself builds up stress, and excessive tension can disturb the hormonal axis and autonomic nervous system that regulate ovulation. When sleep deprivation and tension continue, this effect can grow even larger. Relieving mental tension through light exercise, sufficient rest, and a regular routine provides real help for hormonal stability and pregnancy preparation.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
In Korean medicine, liver-qi stagnation (ganul), in which qi becomes knotted due to the seven emotions (chiljeong), is seen as an important background for menstrual and ovulatory irregularities. At Dongjedang, alongside Korean medicine treatment that loosens the knotted qi, we also recommend lifestyle management that lets go of impatience and restores the body's rhythm.
