Abstract: Infertility, which is usually a psychologically threatening emotional stressful, economically expensive, and physically painful complication, usually due to treatments made for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, for both of the spouses who do not allow a parent to be a parent, Creating social pressure. The pressure, especially for women who do not have children, causes psychosocial problems and their quality of life to fall. This shows us that a biological problem causes psychosocial problems in some socio-cultural areas. Women who are the cause of social pressure and who are practitioners are again women. Both genders are exposed to social pressure, but society gives women the duty to camouflage male-induced infertility and thus attracts women to the real burden. The social pressure applied to children's ownership also affects other related persons, starting with the problem. Nevertheless, sharing problems with the family and relatives of pregnant women leaves infertile people without support. In this study, sociocultural effects of infertility were investigated and solutions were proposed to solve the problems experienced in the process.
