Question

Does stress affect implantation?

Answer 1

Implantation:

1. A fertilized egg goes through the fallopian tube and burrows deep into the lining of the uterus, where it will remain until delivery.
2. This is known as implantation.
3. Cortisol, a stress hormone, can inhibit implantation.
4. When it comes to embryo implantation during IVF and IUD procedures, this is also an issue that needs to be addressed.
5. Stress can cause hormones to be released that limit blood flow to the uterus and endometrial lining, making them less susceptible to implantation.
