Abstract
Infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse, is a serious societal problem that causes significant psychological, economic and social problems for married couples. The problems of female infertility have been relevant and remain so for many centuries and years. The high level of modern medicine is not always able to help and answer a woman's question: "Why does pregnancy not occur?" In the last decade, these problems have been actively studied in psychology and psychotherapy, which made it possible to identify not only the psychological consequences of reproductive health disorders in women, but also the psychological causes of these disorders. The article investigates that psychological factors and mechanisms of mental to somatic transformation play a major role in the occurrence of idiopathic infertility.The psychotherapeutic approach to the problem of idiopathic infertility consists in recognizing the fact that at a specific moment in life, a person is in a state of intrapsychic or interpersonal conflict, which at an unconscious level blocks the possibility of having a child. Compared to fertile women, women with idiopathic infertility are characterized by a more pronounced manifestation of such unconscious mechanisms of realizing their reproductive function. The reproductive function is blocked by the central nervous system, as a result of which ovarian dysfunction with the formation of cysts, ovulation disorders, lack of production of hormones by the corpus luteum, spasm of fallopian tubes, increased production of antisperm antibodies can be observed.
