Fertile and infertile couples attending the Urology Unit and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Service at our Foundation will be enrolled. As part of the standard of care, all couples will undergo both a gynecological evaluation and consultation and an andrological evaluation and consultation.
In accordance with routine clinical practice, infertile couples will be asked during the consultation to complete validated self-administered questionnaires designed to assess the impact of infertility on their sexual function.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of infertility on sexual function. The following validated questionnaires will be administered to both the study couples and the control group:
Questionnaire data will be collected from infertile couples undergoing homologous or heterologous assisted reproductive treatment. The control group will consist of couples attending the same outpatient clinic who have previously achieved at least one full-term pregnancy without the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
