“…In their study, Onat et al report that the mean score of quality of life of the infertile group was higher than the fertile group, but it was not a statistically significant difference. Some studies also show that there is not a significant difference between the genders in the mean score of quality of life between fertile and infertile couples (Onat & Kizilkaya Beji, 2012). The results of the present study and other similar studies show that infertility does not influence quality of life.…”

Introduction: Infertility is a medical problem which influences all the dimensions of one's individual and social life and can expose him/her to psycho-physical, socio-economic, sexual and family challenges. This study was designed to compare the quality of life of fertile and infertile women. Materials & Methodology:This is a case-control analytical study in which 180 fertile and infertile women (aged 18-42) participated. The infertile group consisted of women who had visited an infertility treatment clinic. The fertile group consisted of healthy women who had children and had visited a healthcare center in the city of Jahrom. For the case group (n=90), sampling was conducted based on the census method; for the control group (n=90), subjects were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire which had two sections: demographic information and the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire (WHO QOL-BREF). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results:The mean age of the participants was 28.26±4.85 years. 76.5% of the infertility cases were due to female infertility and 5.9% were due to male infertility. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the infertile and fertile groups in their overall satisfaction with life levels (p=0.002). There were no significant differences between the two groups in mean scores of somatic, psychological, social and environmental dimensions (p>0.05). Conclusion:Considering the results of the present research, it seems that factors like acceptance of infertility by couples, hope for present medical solutions to be effective, use of support plans and recent advancements in technology are possible reasons for the absence of difference between the infertile and fertile groups in quality of life.

“…In earlier studies, questions have been raised whether not being in a relationship, not having children, or being infertile might result in cancer survivors feeling low satisfaction with their sexual function. [11,[42][43][44]. However, in this study, we could not find any statistically significant association between low satisfaction with sexual function and not being in a relationship, not having children, or being infertile.…”

Purpose Previous research has established that treatments for cancer can result in short-and long-term effects on sexual function in adult cancer patients. The purpose was to investigate patient-reported physical and psychosexual complications in adolescents and young adults after they have undergone treatment for cancer. Methods In this population-based study, a study-specific questionnaire was developed by a method used in several previous investigations carried out by our research group, Clinical Cancer Epidemiology. The questionnaire was developed in collaboration with adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (15-29 years) and validated by professionals from oncology units, midwives, epidemiologists, and statisticians. The topics covered in the questionnaire were psychosocial health, body image, sexuality, fertility, education, work, and leisure. The web-based questionnaire was sent to adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and matched controls in Sweden. Results In this study, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (15-29 years) showed low satisfaction regarding sexual function compared to controls (P < 0.01). Female adolescent and young adult cancer survivors had a statistically significant lower frequency of orgasm during sexual activity than the controls (P < 0.01). Male adolescent and young adult cancer survivors had statistically significant lower sexual desire than the controls (P = 0.04). Conclusions We found that adolescent and young adult cancer survivors perceived themselves as being less satisfied with their sexual function than matched population-based controls. Implications for Cancer Survivors Adolescent and young adult cancer survivors need psychological rehabilitation support from the health care profession during and after cancer treatment to help them to reduce their reported poor sexual function to enhance a good sexual quality of life.

“…Second, Amiri M et al (2017) (51) who found that fertile women"s quality of life score was (52) who found that, although the fertile women had slightly higher scores in all areas of quality of life, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in any of the aspects of quality of life. Fourth, Onat G & Beji N (2012) (53) who found that the mean score of quality of life of the infertile women was higher than the fertile women, but it was not a statistically significant difference. They concluded that infertility did not have a negative impact on quality of life of infertile women.…”
