Abstract
Background Reproduction is a phenomenon that has evolved for the survival of the living of different species by producing continuous stream of new generation of that species. Production of a new human being begins with fertilization. Failure to this process results in infertility. Though infertility does not claim an individual life, it inflicts devastating emotional trauma on the individual for being unable to fulfil the biological role of parenthood for no fault of his/her own. Infertility and problems of impaired fecundity have been a concern through ages and is also a significant clinical problem today. The study seeks to understand the societal perceptions of male infertility. The study also analyses the subjective experiences of infertile men and how it affects the emotional development of an individual and it seeks to understand the conventional stereotypes of society towards male infertility and its effects on individual growth. Methods Non-probability sampling method was used for entire data collection. Purposive Sampling method was used to get the samples of 5 infertile men. Another 50 samples, who were the general population of selected age groups were chosen using Quota Sampling method for the purpose of understanding society’s perceptions towards male infertility. Respondents had been divided into five age groups: 25-30 years, 31-35 years, 36-40 years, 41-45 years, and 46- 50 years where 25 respondents were female, and 25 respondents were men. Results Cause of male infertility • Unhealthy lifestyle habits (smoking, drinking, consuming junk food, etc) is one of the major reasons for infertility among men. • Lack of adequate treatment measures for infertility is the reason why infertility cases are reported less in rural areas. Psychological experience of infertile men • Infertility affects men both socially and psychologically as they develop a feeling of inadequacy and guilt and hence makes them distressed. • Stress and infertility have a two-way cause and effect relationship. Infertility leads to stress on one hand and stress also leads to infertility on the other hand. Conventional stereotype towards infertility • Lack of support from the partner and family is the major reason for strained relationships among infertile couples. • Women are held solely responsible for infertility in most cases because men try to keep their infertility under cover. Conclusions Male Infertility is mostly viewed as a social problem, rather than a health and psychological problem due to the social stigma related to it. And it was found that both men and women are affected equally due to infertility. In most of the cases, it was found that women are explicitly held responsible for infertility, mainly because men try to keep their infertility under cover due to their ego. Fertility in men has been tied to virility (masculinity) and many men feel less masculine when they struggle to procreate.
