The stress of infertility causes impairment of dyadic satisfaction, diminution of confidence and depletion of couple's sexual communication times. In this study the purpose was to compare the dyadic adjustment rate and sexual function of infertile and fertile female referring to Be'sat Hospital of Sanandaj city. Articles and Methods : This research method was the kind of scientific-comparative study, and selecting method of samples was voluntary, therefore 240 female 120 of whom were fertile female referring to Be'sat Hospital Clinic of Sanandaj and 120 infertile ones referring to Be'sat Hospital infertility center of Sanandaj were selected. The Data collection tools include Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the U Mann Whitney Test is used to analyze the data. Findings: The result of the study didn't demonstrate significant differences between the dyadic adjustment rate and the sexual function of fertile and infertile female. In the sub scales of dyadic adjustment the significant difference (p≤0/01) was only seen in the sub scales of double consistency, agreement and love expression. In the female's sub scales of sexual function, only the vaginal moisture with (P=0/024) was significant and there were no significant differences in other sub scales. Conclusion: according to the result of this study, the infertility is not supposed to have considerable effect on the dyadic adjustment rate and the infertile female's sexual function, and even in some sub scales the infertile female's dyadic adjustment and sexual function is better than fertile ones.
