Suggest treatment for tokophobia
Patient: he is 40 years has no problem about money and yet scared to get me pregnant I know he is a shy type. He loves me so much and font want me to break up with him too.we have been dating for 3 years. I asked his brother if there is a reason but he assured me there is none. What can I do please Doctor: Hello Tokophobia is fear of getting pregnant in females or fear of childbirth in males. It is seen in a lot of urban couples due to occupational pressure. You have mentioned that there is no money problem. He don't want to get a child and this is causing problem in your personal life.I would advise both of you to consult a Psychiatrist or a marital counsellor for expert management. Proper marital counselling will tend to increase his confidence. If condition doesn't improve the there is need to take medicines. Anti-anxiety medicines will help in early improvement.Thanks, hope this helps you
