Abstract

Infertility is a common burdensome health problem that many women from rural and poor nations face due to the lack of access to healthcare services. The psychological study involves women who come to RHQ Hospital in Chilas, District Diamer, Gilgit Baltistan for infertility treatment. It was aimed to assess the stress level of infertility and effectiveness of the different types of treatments. These interviews consisted of semi-structured interviews and, to an extent, formal questionnaires. The work revealed that state-stigma burden, anxiety and depression rates higher among women. Therefore, these results indicate the need to address infertility with psychological interventions to minimize these side effects.
