Abstract

Infertility, a complex and pervasive global health issue, impacts approximately 10–15% of couples worldwide. In India, its prevalence is similarly significant, driven by lifestyle changes, environmental factors, and societal pressures. Infertility presents not only biological challenges but also profound psychosocial dimensions, including emotional distress, relational strain, societal stigma, and financial burdens. This paper employs a qualitative approach to explore these dimensions, highlighting the necessity of integrating psychological and social interventions into infertility care. Emphasizing the biopsychosocial model, this study proposes a holistic framework for managing infertility, promoting inclusive and empathetic healthcare practices.
