Abstract

Infertility is known to distress humanity since time is known. It does not merely affect the female or her spouse rather impacts signicantly the family as a whole. Its suffering is very stressful and even leads to a morbid mental health issue of- depression, anxiety, aggression, phobia, sexual dysfunction, dissociation and sleep disturbances. The medical management of these issues further complicates the picture with drug-related sexual side effects. Also, there is a signicant psychological and social dysfunction associated with infertility. Thus, Infertility is a multifactorial disease that needs comprehensive multidisciplinary management and care.
