Abstract

Infertility is defined as the inability to produce offspring in a woman who has been trying for at least one year with a normal sex life, and the reproductive function of whose partner is normal. Unexplained infertility in women is when a woman has been put through all known medical tests, examining both anatomy and physiology, and no disease or deformity is found; the same tests must also be performed on the sexual partner, and be confirmed as negative.Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. The health effects and subsequent treatment of women who develop anxiety from a diagnosis of infertility is examined in this literature review.
