“…The grades range from 0 to 56. It shall be noted that grading 7 items of the questions in this questionnaire (4,5,6,7,9,10,13) which has positive concept, is as reverse (0= very high, 1= high, 2= average, 3= low, 4= never) and reliability was defined in this study by test-posttest on 30 couples from two dimensions of repeatability (ICC) and internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha coefficient). ICC (95% confidence interval) and Cronbach Alpha was respectively 0.76 (0.55-0.87) and 0.78.…”

“…Depression and hopelessness play a major role in those cases. An increment in the duration of infertility to more than 10 years results in reduction in the testicular blood supply especially in the older infertile males and this affects the normal physiology of the testes and epididymis which results in marked elevation of the serum FSH and LH levels [28]. Furthermore there is an increase in the number of pathological spermatozoa which linked to an increase in both age and duration of infertility [19].…”

Background :The duration of infertility should be considered as a factor that may affect the outcome of assisted reproductive techniques (ART).Aim :The aim of this descriptive study was to examine the outcome of infertility treatment in relation to duration of infertility. Methods: Sixty nine couples from Allow in vitro fertilization center (IVF) were involved in this work. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) had been done for all couples using the same ART. Results: The mean age of men was 29.37±0.16 years and the duration of infertility was 4.38±0.25 years with range of 1-12 years. Higher pregnancy and life-birth rates were demonstrated in males suffering from infertility for less than 4 years as compared to those who had infertility for more than 10 years (P<0.003, r = -0.869). Moreover, abortion rate was higher in men who had infertility for more than 10 years as compared to those who have infertility for less than 4 years (P<0.0014).. The linear life-birth rate, in both IVF centers, shows decrease by increase in the duration of infertility. Conclusion: The researchers conclude that by increase in the duration of infertility the outcome of assisted reproductive techniques –IUI will be decreased markedly. In addition to the duration of infertility, the present work recommended to consider the different techniques of sperm preparation in relation to the ART outcome.

Hormonal and biochemical disturbances play an important role in development of infertility cases. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the prolactin level and to explore the association between prolactin and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and other hormones in the diagnosed infertile women in Ma'an governorate. The study was performed on 151 women (age group 20-40 years) who visited the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department at Ma'an governmental hospital. The study sample was divided into three groups: fertile group (n= 27), primary infertile group (n= 82) and secondary infertile group (n= 42). The results showed high incidence of prolactin abnormalities in both primary and secondary infertile women (90% and 92%, respectively). Furthermore, TSH abnormalities were found in 90% of primary infertile and % 93 of secondary infertile women. In addition, the results revealed the positively significant correlation between TSH and the fertility. Positive correlations were found between the levels of prolactin and TSH in primary and secondary infertility. Also, there were positive correlations between the levels of prolactin and other hormones, including luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone. In conclusion, the present study revealed a significant correlation between prolactin and TSH and other hormones in infertile women. Therefore, assessment of serum TSH and prolactin levels are mandatory in the work up of all infertile women, especially those presenting with menstrual irregularities.
