About this trial

Fertile and infertile couples attending the Urology Unit and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Service at our Foundation will be enrolled. As part of the standard of care, all couples will undergo both a gynecological evaluation and consultation and an andrological evaluation and consultation.

In accordance with routine clinical practice, infertile couples will be asked during the consultation to complete validated self-administered questionnaires designed to assess the impact of infertility on their sexual function.
