(Finance) – “With the PMA, Medically Assisted Procreation, we can successfully intervene to stem the birth rate which, due to social, biological, economic and work factors, affects our country with serious consequences. In fact, there are fewer than 7 births per thousand residents compared to a European average of 9 per thousand. But to guarantee good results with PMA it is necessary to have a multidisciplinary model, with different professional figures, such as endocrinologists, andrologists, gynecologists, paediatricians, neonatologists, geneticists, psychologists. From this perspective, the FISM, the Federation of Italian Medical Scientific Societies, with its 193 affiliates, is committed to developing a complex project that leads to organizing the work of the various experts through coordination between the main specialist and other professionals, creating within the hospital companies a single diagnostic-therapeutic path”. She said it Francis MacrìNational Secretary of the Italian Federation of Medical-Scientific Societies (FISM), speaking during the round table “Protecting public health for the rebirth of the country”, as part of the “RiNascere nei borghi” meeting, which took place in Zungoli, in the province of Avellino.
“There are, for example, biological factors such as the increase inmiddle age from the pregnancies which reduce fertility” explained Macrì, recalling that “couple infertility reaches figures of 15-20 percent, with a strong incidence of environmental problems such as that of endocrine disruptors”.
According to the IMF secretary, it is appropriate to reflect “more specifically on the positive outcome of the PMA thanks to the methodical that specialists they put into play. How does the couple psychologically experience the different phases of the procedure? During visits to the pediatricianfor example, the fertilization heterologous is sometimes reported with difficulty, the paternity or maternity registry different from the biological one sometimes leads to reluctance to be reported to the doctor and, above all, to the child who has come into the world. Furthermore – specifies Macrì – considering the risk of preterm births, the mother in these cases finds herself at the time of birth still in the phase of idealization about the child she is carrying, which she imagines with all the positive characteristics possible. The last phase of pregnancy, which is missing in preterm birth, is precisely the most objective and realistic one. After giving birth, in these cases, there is a phase of disappointment with the risk of forms of depression” she concluded.
