There are wrong beliefs and values concerning infertility in many cultures. The fact that infertility is often considered as a woman’s problem, the belief that it results from psychological factors although its causes are mostly physical,the belief that it cannot be treated and the belief that it is a sexual disease are common misconceptions. The effects of cultural values on infertility in Turkey and in different countries are mentioned in this article.
