Aim: To determine the current prevalence of female infertility and characterize and identify risk factors associated with infertility in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2023 in twelve medical centers from nine
regions of Ukraine. Definitions of infertility were adapted from the World Health Organization. According to the data collected from questionnaire, participants
were divided into infertile and fertile groups and analyzed associated factors.
Results: Among all the 7,618 participants in this study, the prevalence of female infertility was 24.3%. The prevalence of primary infertility was 5.9%, and
the prevalence of secondary infertility was 18.4%. In logistic multivariate regression analyses, female infertility was associated with age of women (p<0.001),
age of first sexual intercourse (p<0.001), history of gynecological surgery (p<0.001), marital status (p<0.001), age of marriage (p<0.001), decreased ovarian
reserve (DOR) (p=0.006), family history of infertility (p<0.001), history of cervicitis (p=0.007), history of surgical abortion (p<0.001), history of endometritis
(p=0.027), bacterial vaginosis (p=0.023), and aerobic vaginitis (< 0.001).
Conclusions: Our data suggest a high prevalence of female infertility in Ukraine. The prevalence of secondary infertility was higher than primary infertility.
Age of women, age of first sexual intercourse, history of gynecological surgery, marital status, age of marriage, DOR, family history of infertility, history of
cervicitis, history of surgical abortion, history of endometritis, bacterial vaginosis, and aerobic vaginitis were associated with infertility.
