Which sexually transmitted diseases are an important cause of infertility?

Fallopian tube obstruction and pelvic adhesions are the most common causes of female infertility. Most fallopian tube obstruction and pelvic adhesions are sequelae of sexually transmitted diseases. A survey by the World Health Organization shows that among male infertility, a considerable proportion of men are ultimately infertile due to chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract and reproductive tract glands caused by sexually transmitted diseases. In sub-Saharan Asia, where the incidence of STDs is quite high, 85% of female primary infertility and 20% of male primary infertility are related to STDs.

There are two main types of STD pathogens that cause infertility: one is diplococcus gonorrhoeae; the other is Chlamydia trachomatis. Gonorrhea caused by Diplococcus gonorrhoeae is the main cause of pelvic infection and fallopian tube obstruction. Chlamydia trachomatis is also an important pathogenic bacteria. 60% to 80% of fallopian tube obstructions are related to Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis during pregnancy can also cause miscarriage and premature birth.

17% of women will develop pelvic inflammatory disease for the first time when they are infected by STD pathogens, causing infertility; more than 50% of women will become infertile after suffering from STDs many times. After women suffer from fallopian tube obstruction due to sexually transmitted diseases, even modern treatment techniques are often ineffective.
