Abstract
Unexplained infertility represents about 22–28 percent of infertility causes.The diagnosis is based on the exclusion of common causes using standard fertility investigation. Over the years, the causes of unexplained infertility or subfertility have been identified in pre-existing associated pathologies, such as alterations of the immune system, thyroid dysfunctions, and coagulopathies.Studies regarding the influence of psychological factors on the development of infertility highlighted that spontaneous pregnancies following adoption or the decision to remain childless are absolute exceptions. The link between stress and infertility in humans is still unclear. For many women, the effect of infertility and the subsequent medical therapy represents a considerable emotional stress.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
