Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Infertility is a relatively common condition, greatly affecting couples and can have a serious impact on both the psychological well-being and the social status of women. Several of the most influential factors on fertility and infertility treatment, such as age and genetic factors, are non-modifiable. The purpose of the study is to identify and quantify some demographic factors and causes, correlates and prevalence of infertility among couples. Material and Methods: In this study a total of 215 women, aged lesser than 35years, with a history of primary infertility were studied. Cases having infertility were identified using WHO definition. Cases with history of inability to conceive were interviewed to know various clinico-epidemiological correlates including demographic characteristics, duration of illness and anetiology. Results: The mean age of 30.384 ± 3.15 years. The mean BMI of the studied women was 21.6±1.6. Majority of cases with infertility had normal menstrual cycles. In present study, the mean duration of infertility was 8.5 ± 3.3 years. The male factors were responsible in 98 (46%) of the cases followed by tubal factors in 75 (35%) of the cases. The diagnosis remained unexplained in 42 (19%) of cases. Discussion: Infertility is not a disease of the female alone, so the couple needs to be interviewed and investigated to find out the cause. Efforts are needed to raise awareness of the causes among families.
