Infertility may be resulted or aggravated by some psychological factors. Marital discords can lead to infertile couple, as the stress can increase sexual dysfunction.

This psychological stresses can hamper reproductive health of female. Again when one or both partners suffer from anxiety, chronic stresses, depression and other psychological problems, his or her or their reproductive organs may lose appropriate functions.

In closed social groups a sense of being rejected by partner or close ones in case of being failed to conceive can produce enormous emotional stresses and disappointment which can affect negatively on reproductive health or can even lead to infertility.
