Abstract

Background: Infertility is a very important issue for couples of childbearing age all over the world. It is different from the other diseases by it considered as a special reproductive health defect Aim and Objective: The present research was aimed to study of an epidemiological profile of coital problem among infertile women Methodology: It was a hospital-based prospective observational study that involved all couples visiting the Obstetrics and Gynecology department's out-patient clinic at Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad. The research was done over the course of 18 months, from January 2019 to June 2020. 193 couples were solicited, but only 172 couples who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Of the 193 couples that were recruited and investigated, 11 were lost to follow-up and 10 patients were not thoroughly explored. Result: Coital problems were present in 4.6% of males, were more common in 75% of males with primary infertility, were present in 83.33% of patients with primary infertility, were present in all patients with secondary infertility, and were not statistically significant for the distribution of coital problems. Conclusion: Infertility is a generational issue rather than just a personal one. As a result, governments and health policymakers should prioritise the development of infertility clinics, as well as the control of reproductive tract infections and abortion.
