**1.Introduction**

"Health is defined as a state of physical, mental and social well-being of an individual, not merely the absence of disease" (WHO) [1–3].

It includes reproductive health with an ability to have a fulfilling sexual life, an inherent capacity to procreate with a freedom to make choices of timing and planning child birth. It also provides the couple the freedom to seek treatment modalities for family planning as well for infertility.

Infertility is one of the major reproductive health problems that challenge the clinicians as well as the couples. Another domain of reproductive health is the culture of a couple who apart from longing to have children face social pressures to beget children. In certain cultures, it carries social stigma as well as forms the basis for divorce bringing in the legal as well as ethical issues. The psychological domain acts negatively on fertility potential of the couple [4].

 An added issue is gender bias and discrimination which falters the women as the major cause of infertility though science states that there are equal causes for infertility for both men and women [3].
