Introduction

Infertility impacts millions worldwide, with unique regional patterns and risk factors. A recent study conducted in the northern region of Iran reveals significant insights into the epidemiological characteristics of women undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This research offers a deeper understanding of socio-demographic elements, hormonal imbalances, and common gynecological disorders affecting fertility.

Study Overview and Key Findings

Conducted across two infertility treatment centers in Sari, Iran, the study evaluated 330 women from 2015 to 2017, analyzing factors contributing to primary and secondary infertility.

Key Findings:

  • Age Group: 54.5% of the women were aged 30-39.
  • BMI: 44.5% were overweight (BMI 26-30 kg/m²); over 11% were obese.
  • Education: A majority (54.5%) held a diploma or associate degree.
  • Residency: 63.6% lived in urban areas.
  • Type of Infertility: 74.5% experienced primary infertility.
  • Common Risk Factors:
    • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOs) – 19.42%
    • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – 16.81%
    • Poor Ovarian Reserve – 13.91%
  • Thyroid Disorders: Most prevalent underlying disease, affecting 54.5%.

Broader Medical Context

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), conditions such as PCOS and thyroid imbalances are leading contributors to reproductive challenges, often compounded by age and weight. This underscores the need for timely diagnosis and education.

Research Implications

The study draws connections between:

  • Urban residency and shorter infertility duration.
  • Lower education levels and higher endometriosis incidence.
  • Thyroid disorders and increased miscarriage risks (22%).

This highlights the importance of tailored reproductive healthcare strategies, especially in iodine-deficient and underserved regions.
