Sexually Transmitted Diseases Cause Infertility

Infertility Problem

Infertility that one of the factors causing this serious health problem are Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

The average onset of sexual life is 13 years for women and 15 for men, young people are starting very early sexual activity and the vast majority does not use any method of protection against  sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) . Under the World Day for Infertility, held every June 4 , he recalls that infertility is a health problem recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in which multiple factors are involved, one of them is involvement that cause STDs.

When we are talking about an infertility problem?

Infertility is when after 12 months of unprotected sex, the couple does not get pregnant. Stress, contraceptive use long (four to five years) without medical supervision and the decision to delay childbearing are causing large percentage of infertility cases, but a large number of patients are affected by a element that few pay attention: the Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).

"95% of teenagers in the world have access to some preventive method, either against contraception or STDs, but only 5% use" said Esmas Health to Dr. Carlos Maquita specialist reproductive medicine and director of Red Crea.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are one of the main factors of infertility in both men and women. Scording to estimates made ​​by WHO, occur each year in the world 448 million new curable cases and their complications are among the top five categories of diseases that lead to seek healthcare and is the most common preventable cause of female infertility.

" The three most common infections are gonorrhea or gonorrhea, chlamydia and mycoplasma, are producing more damage in the reproductive female and male. Consequently they are more related to infertility, "said Dr. Carlos Maquita.

How STDs damaged?

The bacteria found in STDs can be installed in the mucus produced by the cervix and cause decreased sperm motility coming through sexual or relationship,   alter permeability and functionality fallopian tubes. For males, microorganisms adhere directly to and affect sperm quality and quantity.

When a man has a chronic case of chlamydia may have swelling in the testicles and prostate or disorders of the urethra , which affects the quantity and quality of sperm. "Remember that semen consists of sperm and seminal fluid Infection , improper or abnormal physical characteristic ph genitals assaults rather than protecting the sperms. "


Couple problem

"Infertility is about two, cannot talk about it over the woman or the man. Sexually Transmitted Diseases can be a cause but 80% of cases are multifactorial.

"In women it may be that there is inadequate ovulation (at this point influences obesity much), there are problems in the fallopian matrix or STDs. Among boys, besides infections are factors styles unhealthy lifestyle (alcohol, snuff and drugs). Either affect sedentary and whether there are genetic problems, "said Dr. Maquita.

Social factors

The postponement of motherhood and fatherhood are another important element. More and more women prefer to spend more time at work and other activities, before thinking about having children. However, nature does not expect and from age 35 egg quality declines.

In all cases there are clinical methods to seek to have children. "The reproductive medicine can focus on treatments or surgery. Not all require assisted reproduction. A high percentage only requires antibiotics or hormone treatment, we have to do a thorough evaluation because assisted reproduction techniques remain expensive treatments.

"There There are two common types of assisted reproduction: . Artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization . Neither treatment guarantees results to one hundred percent Each patient was examined and it takes a percentage of personal success, although globally walk between 60-70% in 50% artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization in one go, "concluded Dr. Maquita
