Fertility

Human infertility is the inability of reproducing by natural means. The most common causes of infertility are ovulatory problems and deficiencies in the semen, and semen quality. Infertility can influence on all aspects of the infertile couples’ life (Stellar et.al, 2016). Low self-esteem, depression, dissatisfaction and anxiety are the results of this crisis situation for couples with infertility problem (Steril, 2006). The other problems are the relationship between the infertile patients with their spouse, friends, and colleagues, a negative impact on their adherence performance, impulsive angry behaviors, feelings of helplessness and worthlessness, concerns of sexual attraction, feeling of isolation, physical complaints, difficulty in sexual relationships, and sexual dissatisfaction (Ramezanzadeh, 2004; Slade, 2007).

The first government consideration to reproductive life of people in Iran dates back to the 19th century, during the Qajar Dynasty. Considering remarkable progresses in recent years, infertility has known as a solvable problem. Iran has enjoyed benefits of this progressive trend and had significant progress in this field. Availability of 60 infertility centers across the country and inexpensive therapeutic services has made Iran an appropriate country for this purpose.
