Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes of infertility in both urban and rural regions. Materials and method: In this systematic review data published by Medline, PubMed, the science straightforward and Obs gyne online library were asked about studies published between 2000 and 2021 using specific MeSH terms. We provided data on 15 phase 6 studies undertaken at a tertiary care facility in rural and urban training locations. Results: In this study, we examined the causes of infertility variability in all habitats. Our revised study shows that fertility rates are very high in small towns and rural areas and very low in the capital, as expected. The study included 7100 married people between the ages of 15 and 49 when 2600 were infertile. The reason for infertility in a couple is assigned on the basis of history and test results. Most women in rural areas are educated. There was a substantial difference between the amount of education and occupation of the site of residence for infertile women. In both rural and urban regions, couples experiencing infertility for less than 5 years were 46 percent and 42 percent, respectively. Women with a familial history of infertility were nearly comparable. In rural places, the history of marriage is common. Female characteristics, male characteristics, and associated features have been claimed to be responsible for infertility in 40percent, 40percent and 20percent of cases, respectively. Conclusion: The poor state of education in rural areas is a major obstacle to encouraging couples to access health care in rural areas. Though PCOS is still a major issue, diseases are still a significant factor in tubal factor infertility, and smoking and liquor enhance the male factor. Most women in rural areas are illiterates. Thus our revised research shows that fertility rates are much higher in small towns and rural areas and compared with the capital due to lack of information and medical services.
