Assessing knowledge regarding fertility and attitude and intentions towards future parenthood among undergraduate medical students in Karachi.

This study aimed to assess the knowledge regarding female fertility, infertility treatments and the attitudes regarding parenthood of medical students in Pakistan. Delayed childbirth among medical trainees due to extended years of medical education and training puts this population at a higher risk for involuntary childlessness later in life due to age-related decline in female fertility. A knowledge, attitude and practice study was carried out among medical students in Karachi in July 2021 using the English version of the Swedish Fertility Awareness questionnaire, which has been used in similar studies.
