An emerging approach in infertility diagnosis and treatment called NaProTECHNOLOGY (NPT) may benefit marital interactions however, no studies have explored marital satisfaction in this specific population. Stress that arises from infertility treatment may affect marital interaction, specifically, satisfaction. By discovering the underlying causes of infertility, genetic tests enable better family counseling, like the implications of transmitting risk- and disease-alleles to future generations.īackground: Infertility, or the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to live birth, affects one in sixteen married women. The percentage of live births obtained by NaProTechnology is similar to that of ARTs.Īn extensive search for the genetic defects causing infertility or subfertility through genetic testing can help both ARTs and NaProTechnology to achieve successful pregnancies. This narrative review summarizes the complications related to ARTs and clarifies how the NaProTechnology approach can help ARTs to achieve better results or be used in alternative to ARTs.ĭata in the literature indicate that NaProTechnology is a natural approach for treating infertility. Natural procreative technology (NaProTechnology) is a natural treatment which minimizes these risks by seeking to identify the causes of infertility to enable better treatments. Nevertheless, ARTs may be associated with complications for mothers and/or offspring.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are currently the most common treatment option for infertility.

Infertility affects ~20% of the couples in the world.
