“…In a study conducted in the USA on a group of 202 women undergoing an IVF procedure for the first time, a diagnosis of depression had no effect on the efficacy of IVF [19].

Infertility is a significant problem for millions of couples. Recently more attention is being paid to the relationship between infertility treatment with the use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques and the presence of mental disturbances, of which anxiety and depression are the most common. We present a review of recent studies evaluating the influence of anxiety and depression on fertility treatment outcomes and the effect of Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment on the presence of anxiety and depression among women. The studies show conflicting results concerning the effect of anxiety on Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment outcomes, but most reveal that Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment leads to an increased level of anxiety, especially in cases of treatment failure and longer durations of treatment. Most studies do not show a relationship between depression and Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment outcomes, but it seems that severe depression can lead to lower rates of pregnancy during infertility treatment with Assisted Reproductive Techniques. Moreover, women who become pregnant after Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment seem to have an increased risk of depression in later life.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the role of hysterolaparoscopy in the study of primary and secondary infertility so as to identify the various pathological conditions in female reproductive tract leading to primary/ secondary infertility and also to observe the complications of the procedure. METHODOLOGY: The present one year observational study was done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a tertiary care hospital situated in Davanagere, Karnataka from January 2012 to December 2012. A total of 100 infertile women, anxious to conceive, coming for infertility work-up in hospitals underwent hysterolaparoscopy. RESULTS: The commonest age group was 26 to 30 years (57%) and the mean age was 27.27 ± 3.59 years. The history of consanguineous marriage was present in 20%. Majority (74%) of the women reported regular cycles while 26% of the women reported irregular menstrual history. Almost half of the study population (50%) had duration of infertility between 4 to 6 years and the mean duration was 4.62 ± 158 years. Primary infertility was noted in 79% of the women and PCOS was the commonest finding noted in 18.99%. In women with secondary infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease was the commonest diagnosis (19.05%). Majority (96.20% and 90.48% respectively) of the women with primary and secondary infertility did not have any complications. CONCLUSION AND INTERPRETATION: Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy identifies the various pathological conditions leading to primary and secondary infertility and thus helps obstetrician for effective management hence it may be performed in all infertile patients.

“…During the various stages of infertility treatment ranging from ovulation induction, artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, women experience various psychological stresses including physical stress, anxiety, depression, and exposure of sex life [3]. Also, in Korea's Confucian culture, infertility is recognized as a problem that is not easy to reveal in society [4], and the stigma characteristic of the problem is serious, for example, it makes the subject reluctant to talk about their problems and causes a lack of social support [5].…”
