Background & aim: Infertility is an important medical and social issue in all societies. Access to accurate and up-to-date infertility statistics and related causes can be useful in formulating policies to assist infertile couples and refer them to infertility centers and their treatment and resolution of problems. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine and investigate the prevalence of infertility in Boyer-Ahmad district based on the SIB system from 2016 to 2018.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical study conducted on 1536 couples who were referred to all health centers in Boyer Ahmad district affiliated to Yasuj University of Medical Sciences during 2016-2018. The data were collected by interview using a researcher-constructed questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by content validity. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 at the descriptive level. Quantitative descriptive data are presented as mean (standard deviation) and qualitative in the form of frequency (percentage).
Results: In the present study, the mean (SD) age of infertile women was 38/6 ± 01/33 and men age 39/8 ± 45/38 years. The prevalence of infertility in Boyerahmad was 8.13%, of which 44.06% had primary infertility and 55.93% had secondary infertility. The mean (standard deviation) of women was 27.93±5.49. In primary infertility, 42.3% were female, 26.9% were mixed, 23.1% were male and 7.7% were idiopathic.
Conclusion: The prevalence of infertility in Boyer Ahmad district was lower than the national rate and previous studies. In the frequency distribution of infertility type, secondary infertility was more frequent. Regarding sampling based on SIB system and differences in infertility statistics in the province compared to Iran and the world, this finding may be due to the low number of infertile couples surveyed due to lack of information on infertile women in SIB system. Therefore, further steps are recommended to lower the deficiencies of the SIB system in order to obtain accurate population statistics of infertile women. Providing more health facilities in government centers correspondingly seems to help.
