“…The psychological burden of infertility may lead to many negative outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and loneliness. 21 The literature review also revealed that women with infertility suffer from more psychological issues compared to men. 22 This study is anticipated to examine the relationship between attachment pattern, perceived social support, and mental health problems in women with primary infertility in the collectivistic and traditional religious context of Pakistan.…”

“…[17][18][19] Past research has also shown that a person who experiences infertility tends to suffer from anxiety, depression, grief, negative self-image, low self-esteem, isolation, suicidal ideation, and decreased marital satisfaction. 20,21 It is noteworthy that although both partners are affected by this chronic health condition, women are a victim of more consequential mental health problems than men. 22 There are numerous possible reasons behind increased depression and nervousness in women with infertility, explicitly the perception of loss of motherhood and womanhood, greater self-blame, negative self-image, and perceived social pressure.…”

Background: Infertility is one of the fastest growing concerns when it comes to reproductive health and most often, women get the blame. Consequently, females suffer from major psycho-social and emotional problems that may lead to serious mental health concerns.Methods: To fill the gap in literature, a cross-sectional research design was used to measure the attachment styles with spouse, perceived social support, and predict mental health problems in women attending infertility clinics with ages ranging from 19-45 (M 27.21, SD 4.79). Adult Attachment Questionnaire, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale were used among experimental subjects selected through purposive sampling technique.Results: About 32% women reported themselves as secure, 49% as ambivalent, and 19% as avoidant in their attachment style with spouse. The results revealed that a significant negative correlation exists between perceived social support and mental health problems among women with infertility. Moreover, women who identify their attachment pattern as Ambivalent perceive less social support and experience more mental health problems.Conclusions: Education is one of the strongest predictors of how likely infertility is to cause mental health issues while Attachment style is another strong indicator since infertile women with secure attachment pattern have fewer mental health problems. However, the sample size was modest to make any wide-scale assumptions, so further trials with larger participant pools must be performed. Additionally, future studies should include both rural and urban samples with different psychological variables to find the similarities and differences between various groups of people with diverse backgrounds.

Background and Objectives: In addition to physical and mental problems caused by perception of being impotent, social reactions in the society, and the economic and emotional burden of medical costs, infertility causes emotions such as fear, depression, guilty conscience, denial and uncertainty about the future. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 560 infertile couples referring to the Kurdistan Infertility Diagnosis and Therapeutic Center in 1397. Data were collected using a demographic checklist, Newton's Perceived Stress Questionnaire, and a Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. Results: The results showed that gender variables, infertility factor and social support had a significant impact on perceived stress in infertile couples (P <0.05). Additionally, if other variables persist, as social support increases, the perceived stress decreases in the infertile couples. For the infertility cause variable, the stress levels of those who were the infertile spouse were high and the stress of the group whose wife was the infertile spouse was low, and those who were still not certain about the cause of infertility had a lower level of stress. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the perceived stress level in infertile men is more than infertile women and the perceived stress level of respondents who were infertile themselves was more than other factors.

Objective: Date palm is one of the plants that have used empirically to increase fertility. Ethanol induction can cause sperm damage in male mice. Sperm damage is one of the infertility agents. The aim of this study was to observe and determine anti-infertility effects of the ethanol extract of date palm fruit in khalal stage in male mice compared with propolis.Methods: A total of 5 groups were assigned to 1 control and 4 experimental groups. Control group was treated by intraperitoneal administration of ethanol only. Meanwhile, experimental groups was treated by intraperitoneal administration of ethanol induction and oral administration of 140, 280, and 560 mg/kg BW of khalal date fruit extract and 1400 mg/kg BW of propolis for 34 days. At 35th day, the mice were deeply anesthetized with anesthetic ether and sacrificed. Laparotomy was performed to collect sperms from epididymis and testes for determining testis weight to analyze the sperm. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s test.Results: The result of the research showed that there were anti-infertility activity of ethanol extract of date palm fruit in khalal stage (p<0.05) on count, motility of sperm and weight of testes in male white mice toghether with larger doses administration. The optimum activity was accepted by the administration of doses 560 mg/kg BW.Conclusion: Ethanol extract of khalal date fruit and propolis can increase the quality of sperm pervade sperm count, sperm motility, and weight of testes. Ethanol extract of khalal date fruit can increase sperm quality higher than propolis.
