title: [Sociomedical aspects of infertility (results of a questionnaire survey)].
abstract: Sterility is a pressing problem, and we therefore carried out a sociological study among patients consulted for sterility at the andrological department of the D.O. Ott Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The nature of sterility is often mixed, and we therefore distributed questionnaires among couples (men and wives), a total of 160 patients. The results showed that many patients (particularly those aged 31-40 years) had problems in their social intercourse, which are closely related to the problem of sterility and the motivation of having a child. In almost half the cases men or both spouses were responsible for sterility. A long history of infertility (both treated and untreated) in many patients and inefficiency of its treatment, particularly in private clinics, are worthy of note. In addition, many patients suggest that both spouses be treated at the same medical institution, which is to be responsible for the final result.
