Studies were selected following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case-Control Studies and the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies, as appropriate. All included studies were observational.

The findings indicated that anxiety and depression were associated with poorer sexual health among patients with infertility. In women with infertility, higher levels of anxiety and depression were associated with lower libido and sexual arousal, greater difficulties with lubrication and orgasm, and more sexual pain. In men with infertility, anxiety and depression were associated with lower libido, greater difficulty experiencing orgasm, premature ejaculation, and poorer erectile function. Anxiety and depression were also associated with poorer intimacy and communication between partners, including lower perceived security and self-esteem.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings support consideration of psychological and sexual health assessments as components of routine infertility care.
