Healthcare professionals should be aware that

  • There is probably no difference in quality of life (QoL) between women with unexplained infertility versus women in couples with known causes of infertility, except when the cause of infertility is PCOS, where the QoL is lower.

  • QoL is probably higher in men from a couple with unexplained infertility compared to men from a couple with known causes of infertility except when the cause of infertility is men with a partner with PCOS, then the men from a couple with unexplained infertility have a lower QoL (Kowalcek et al., 2001; Santoro et al., 2016; Warchol-Biedermann, 2021).
