Abstract
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have detrimental effects on overall health and can cause infertility in males and females. Untreated infections like gonorrhea or chlamydia may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), causing damage and obstruction of the fallopian tubes. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, particularly high-risk strains, may progress to cervical cancer, requiring invasive treatments and may cause fertility loss. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks can disrupt sexual contact, affecting conception attempts. Syphilis, is another sexually transmitted disease, if left untreated, can lead to epididymitis and erectile dysfunction in males, indirectly influencing fertility. Early detection and treatment of these STIs are crucial to protect infertility in males and females.
