“…Alarmingly, in a recent study on 2,317 infertile couples, 72% of problem was attributed to male factor infertility (Alasmari et al, ).

In addition to lack of studies on infertility in general, genetic investigations have not been reported for male infertile patients except a single study (Hellani, Al‐Hassan, Iqbal, & Coskun, ) on Y‐chromosome microdeletions.…”

Literatürde de infertilite sebebi ne olursa olsun kadınların tanı ve tedavi süreçlerine daha aktif katıldıkları ve uyum sağladıkları, invaziv girişimlere daha fazla maruz kaldıkları halde, infertilite stresi ile baş etmede daha dışa dönük, kendini ve yaşadıkları süreci anlatmaya daha istekli oldukları, erkeklerin ise bu süreçte daha az konuştukları, duygularını daha az paylaştıkları bildirilmektedir [9,31].…”
