Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of infertility on the quality of life (QoL) and sexual functioning of infertile couples. METHODS: The research group consisted of 206 infertile couples and the control group of 190 fertile couples. A specific questionnaire was used as a research tool. It gathered information about socio-demographic features and infertility status, and included validated scales: Short Form-36 Health Survey, Female Sexual Function Index and International Index of Erectile Function. RESULTS: The QoL parameters in all categories were generally lower for infertile women than for those of the control group. Clinical sexual dysfunctions were not significantly more common among infertile than fertile women (17.5% versus 12.1%, p=0.13). Clinically relevant erectile dysfunctions were diagnosed in 23.9% of infertile men and in 13.7% of the controls. Male infertility had the most significant negative effect on men's sexual functioning. CONCLUSIONS: The risk groups for decreased QoL are infertile women and older subjects with lower education and occupationally inactive. Clinically relevant sexual disorders in the infertile population most frequently affect older men, with a lower educational level and with previously diagnosed male infertility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
