Effect of infertility on Psychological well-being of women

Abstract

Infertility may be a disease of the reproductive and genital system which affects men and women both with almost equal frequency. Psychological well-being consists of positive relationships with others, personal mastery, autonomy, a sense of purpose and meaning in life, and private growth and development. It's attained by achieving a state of balance plagued by both challenging and rewarding life events. The objectives of the present study were to study the impact of infertility on the psychological well- being among women and to compare fertile and infertile women in terms of psychological impact. The sample was comprised of 50 subjects (N=50) ages ranging from 30 to 45.
