ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Infertility defined as not being able to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse, is a global public health problem that affects more than 10% of the world’s population. The risk of infertility increases with advanced age of the female partner (>35 years). Female infertility may present as an ovulation, obstructed fallopian tubes, endometriosis or uterine abnormalities.

Genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances and congenital/infectious malformations of the reproductive tract are some of the common causes of male and female infertility. Lifestyle factors such as obesity, diet, smoking and alcohol use along with environmental chemical exposure have been increasingly examined as additional modifiers of fertility. Design: A quantitative approach using pre experimental pre-test post-test design with one group. Participants: 60 Science and Commerce students were selected using Probability Simple random sampling technique in Science and Commerce College, Visnagar. Interventions: Structure teaching program was given to the students. Tool: Self Structured Questionnaire was used to assess the level of Knowledge regarding infertility and used Likert’s attitude scale to assess attitude regarding infertility.

Distribution of samples by gender is 36(60%) females and 24(40%) samples are male. Equally distributed samples by stream of study Science and Commerce is 30(50%). As regards marital status it was found that maximum samples 41(68.33%) were unmarried and 19(31.67%) samples were married. Distribution of samples by religion is maximum samples 48(80%) were Hindu and 12(20%) samples were Muslim. 39(65%) samples were living in the urban area and 21(35%) samples living in rural area.
