Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Donor sperm provides a viable option for patients with significant male factor infertility. However, since the source of sperm is not from the male partner, the psychological burden of these couples is more pronounced and complex than other patients.The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress faced by participants undergoing assisted reproduction with donor sperm and to further investigate its impact on pregnancy outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The number of infertility patients has increased significantly in recent years, and infertility caused by the male partner accounts for about 30%-50% of infertility factors. Donor sperm provides a viable option for patients with significant male factor infertility. However, since the source of sperm is not from the male partner, the psychological burden of these couples is more pronounced and complex than other patients. Many factors such as social, marital, and family problems may contribute to their depressed emotional state. And the impact of these negative emotions on pregnancy outcomes cannot be ignored. In this study, investigators intend to investigate the stress faced by participants undergoing assisted reproduction with donor sperm to provide a reliable basis for future psychological interventions and health education for this group of patients and improve the quality of life of infertility patients.
