Implication

Observational study reveals high anxiety and psychosexual dysfunction in infertile women, highlighting the need for psychological care.

Key Points

  • To assess anxiety levels and sexual function among women undergoing infertility treatment.
  • Descriptive observational study conducted over nine months at Zagazig University Hospital involving 300 infertile women.
  • Data collected via a Structured Interview Questionnaire, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI, Cronbach's alpha = 0.923), and Taylor Anxiety Scale (Cronbach's alpha = 0.845).
  • Among participants, 32.6% sought fertility services after one year of marriage, 30.5% visited more than five clinics, and 47.5% received in vitro fertilization.
  • Nearly half of the participants experienced moderate to very severe anxiety, which significantly impaired sexual arousal, orgasm, and overall satisfaction.
