Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epidemiological data show that human reproductive disorders are a common problem worldwide, and they concern almost 20% of couples of reproductive age. Therefore, infertility has been considered by the World Health Organization as a social disease, which constitutes a great problem from the aspect of public health. Reproductive problems can lead to challenging situations in which women experience a high level of stress and emotional disorders. Women who have difficulty conceiving experience emotional disorders at twice the rate of those who are fertile. The previous attempts to isolate single cause–effect relationships between stress and infertility have so far been unsuccessful because of their multi-dimensional etiology. An attempt to solve this problem will be undertaken in this Special Issue. I would, therefore, appreciate it if you considered contributing a suitable article for publication.
