Abstract Objectives Infertility has disastrous consequences, particularly for women. Causes of infertility in developed countries have been investigated but there is a significant lack of data among Indian female population. The aim of the present study was to analyze the causes and the proportion of the individual factors contributing to infertility, considering the age factor. Methods The data of 204 infertile women (18–45 years) were collected from the files in tertiary care hospitals. Causes and age of infertile women were grouped. The prevalence of each cause was evaluated. Data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 17.0. Results Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was the most common (14.71%) cause of female infertility. Ovulatory dysfunctions (25.55%) were the foremost cause in primary infertility, whereas in secondary infertility, uterine factors (26.86%) were most common. The incidence of primary and secondary infertility was more evident in patients who were more than 30 years of age. Conclusions Causes of infertility vary according to the age. The causes of female infertility were unexplained infertility, ovulatory disorders and uterine factors most commonly affecting women at ≤30 years.

Personality Disturbance

This paper reviews the literature concerning the fertility of those with psychological illness. Conflicting views have been presented over the last hundred years, but more recent and better designed surveys show more consistent results. These demonstrate with reference to psychotics that schizophrenics, but not manic-depressives, have fewer children than control population groups. There is no consistent evidence yet that those with neurosis and personality disorder have reduced fertility, although there is a suggestion that infertile women are more likely to have a personality disturbance than fertile controls. Further well-controlled population surveys are needed in this neglected field.
