“…We believe that the difference in the average amount of IIEF and its subdomains of the infertile men in our protocol, compared with other studies, one reason is problems with the methodological issues and the other one cultural context. Our findings suggest that the lowest average score in IIEF domains is related to sexual desire and then orgasmic function, which was nearly in line with the result of the study that it had done in Turkey (23) . A review of literature presented that in infertile men, hypoactive sexual desire and lack of sexual satisfaction were the most prevalent types of sexual dysfunction (5) .…”

“…According to a study (2015), the mean of total IIEF score was 45.7±7.5. Our study revealed a mean just higher than Turkish men diagnosed with infertility (23) .

ÖzAmaç: Cinsel işlev bozukluğu, infertil erkeklerde önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu araştırma, infertil çiftlerin erkek partnerlerindeki cinsel işlev bozukluğunu ve bununla ilişkili risk faktörlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel çalışma, 2015 yılında Fatemeh Zahra İnfertilite ve Üreme Merkezi, Babol, İran'a sevk edilen infertil çiftlerin 204 erkek partnerleri üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Cinsel işlev bozukluğu Uluslararası Erektil Fonksiyon (IIEF) İndeksi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizlerde lojistik ve lineer regresyon testleri kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık 0,05'ten düşük p değeri olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Ortalama toplam IIEF skoru 58,30±8,52 idi. IIEF alanlarının en düşük ortalaması, infertil çiftlerin erkek partnerlerindeki cinsel istek ve daha sonra orgazmik fonksiyonla ilişkiliydi. Erektil fonksiyon, cinsel fonksiyon modelinde en büyük benzersiz varyansa katkıda bulunmuştur (p<0,001, R 2 : %69,8). En güçlü korelasyon değeri, genel memnuniyet ve cinsel ilişki memnuniyeti alanları arasındaydı. Cinsel işlev ile kadının yakınlığı (p<0,002) ve Abstract Objective: Sexual dysfunction is a major health concern in infertile men. This research aims to evaluate the sexual dysfunction and its associated risk factors in the male partners of infertile couples. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was performed on 204 male partners of infertile couples that were referred to Fatemeh Zahra Infertility & Reproductive Center, Babol, Iran, in 2015. Sexual dysfunction was evaluated using The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Logistic and linear regression tests were used for statis¬tical analyses. Statistical significance was considered with a p value less than 0.05. Results: The mean total IIEF score was 58.30±8.52. The lowest mean of IIEF domains was related to sexual desire and then orgasmic function in the male partners of the infertile couples. Erectile function contributed to the greatest amount of unique variance in the model for sexual function (p<0.001, R 2 =69.8%). The strongest correlation value was between the domains of overall satisfaction and intercourse satisfaction. There was a positive statistically significant association between sexual function with wife marital intimacy (p<0.002) and wife sexual function (p<0.001). There was a significant association between sexual dysfunction with job conditions (p<0.037, OR=0.094), and coitus count (p<0.009, OR=6.146). After adjusting for other variables, there was a significant association between sexual function and wife sexual function (p<0.005). Also, after adjusting for other variables, there was a significant association between sexual dysfunction and coitus count (p<0.004, OR=2.496), and job condition (p<0.046, OR=0.081). Conclusion: By considering sexual dysfunction and some related factors, early screening is required for distinguishing predictor factors of sexual dysfunction.

“…Studies indicate that infertility can have both desirable and undesirable outcomes Verhaak et al, 2007). For example, among the deleterious effects of infertility on relationships, sex can lose its spontaneity and become more chore-like rather than a source of pleasure or expression of intimacy within the relationship (Piva, Lo Monte, Graziano, & Marci, 2014; see also Glover, McLellan, & Weaver, 2009;Ozkan, Orhan, Aktas, & Coskuner, 2016). Conversely, infertility can lead to stronger couple relationships (Peterson, Pirritano, Block, & Schmidt, 2011;Wagner, Wrzus, Neyer, & Lang, 2015), especially among partners who approach infertility as a shared problem (Greil, 1991).…”

Responding to Infertility: Lessons from a Growing Body of Research and Suggested Guidelines for Practice

Infertility is a common, yet often misunderstood, experience. Infertility is an important topic for family scientists because of its effects on families; its relevance to research in related areas, such as fertility trends and reproductive health; and its implications for practitioners who work with individuals and couples experiencing infertility. In this review, we focus on common misperceptions in knowledge and treatment of infertility and highlight insights from recent research that includes men, couples, and people with infertility who are not in treatment. The meaning of parenthood, childlessness, awareness of a fertility problem, and access to resources are particularly relevant for treatment seeking and psychosocial outcomes. On the basis of insights from family science research, we provide specific guidelines for infertility practice within broader social contexts such as trends in health care, education, employment, and relationships. Guidelines are presented across three areas of application: infertility education for individuals, families, and practitioners; steps to support the emotional well-being of those affected by infertility; and understanding of treatment approaches and their implications for individuals and couples.

“…1 While we acknowledge that there may be 7 an association between infertility, sexual dysfunction, and mood state, we believe that the data 8 and analyses presented by Ozkan et al are flawed and assert that no firm conclusions can be 9 surmised from their data. In this letter, we discuss common pitfalls in uropsychiatric research and 10 suggest guidelines for future authors to follow.…”
