	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; Infertility is one of the major problems in reproductive health. This research was carried out to evaluate the relationship between infertility, attachment, identity, sexual function, and sexual self-esteem in married women.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this causal-comparative and correlational study, 300 voluntary married women (fertile=150, infertile=150) in Mashhad were selected through random sampling in 2019. Collins and Read&amp;rsquo;s Revised Adult Attachment Scale, Identity Style Inventory, Female Sexual Function Index, and Sexual Self-Esteem Index for Women-Short Form were used to gather data. Data were analyzed using a t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis with SPSS-24 software(p&lt;0.05).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;There was a significant difference between sexual function and sexual self-esteem of the fertile and infertile women (P=0.000). Also, the results demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between a sexual function with attachment styles and identity status in women. There was a significant relationship between sexual self-esteem and the status of identity (all p&lt;0.05).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It can be concluded that infertility can have a significant impact on sexual function. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between attachment and identity styles with sexual function and sexual self-esteem.&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
