Infertility is often the cause of problems that affect an individual's entire life. Stress, resulting from not being obtained of pregnancy, leads to the alternation of emotional reactions, such as surprise, anger, depression, isolation. The discovery of infertility can affect the perception of sexual identity, sexual function and the couple's relationship. The role of the gynecologist is extremely important, at all times, from the diagnostic to the therapeutic phase. Treat the two partners as individuals, involving them in the therapeutic choices, as well as providing correct and complete information, giving them a sense of control over their life and condition. The perception of being protagonists in the search for the child and not only the object of care, can reduce psychological distress and improve the adaptive mechanisms of stress response.
