Abstract

Abstract
Background & Aim: Infertility is one of the most important crises in a lifetime and is defined as lack of pregnancy after one year of sexual intercourse without using contraceptives. Geographical and population differences in various areas have led to various reports regarding the assessment of prevalence of infertility.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive research was performed on 886 eligible couples 2014-2016. Demographic information and diagnostic and treatment methods existing in medical files of the patients were recorded in a questionnaire, and data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16.
Results: In this research, the frequency of the primary and secondary infertility was reported to be 84.5% and 15.5%, respectively. In addition, female (30.4), male (31.4) both female and male (24.8) and other (18.1) factors were the causes of infertility. According to the results, most disorders were related to oligospermia (64.4%), whereas the lowest disorders were related to teratospermia (1.8%). In terms of female factors, the most and least causes of infertility were ovarian (64%) and uterine-related (1.4%), respectively. Moreover, tubular causes were involved in 2.3% of infertility cases.
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the rate of female and male causes involved in infertility at the center was similar to the worldwide statistics.
