The study is regarding the knowledge, attitudes of men and women regarding infertility. The study primarily focused on the current knowledge of men and women regarding infertility, their attitude toward infertility, and the practices they are likely to follow if diagnosed with fertility. The study found gaps in men's and women's knowledge regarding infertility as well as a lot of misconceptions due to a lack of knowledge. An overall favorable attitude was noted regarding infertility in both men and women. Furthermore, most men and women were willing to seek medical help and partake in many lifestyle modification practices to improve their fertility. The study also found that most men favored making use of traditional herbalists as a treatment for infertility, while most women favored making use of over-the-counter supplements.
