Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead a man to infertility.
Acute urethritis does not cause infertility, but only chronic infectious diseases can lead to urethral stricture, orchiepididymitis, and ultimately infertility.
Chlamydia can be transmitted to a sexual partner, just like any sexually transmitted infection. In women, these microorganisms can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and obstruction of the fallopian tubes.
Ureaplasma affects spermatozoa (reduces their motility and damages their DNA).
Trichomonas has the least impact on male infertility compared to other sexually transmitted infections.
It is important to screen for viral infections, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes simplex virus, whose effects on the male reproductive system are not precisely defined.
Any sexually transmitted infection increases the risk of acquiring the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which, in parallel with the progression of immunodeficiency, progressively worsens spermatogenesis. If an STI is detected or suspected, it is essential for the couple to seek advice from a qualified doctor.
Sexually transmitted infections can be effectively prevented by barrier methods (condoms). It is also very important that, in case of infection, the individual consults a doctor promptly, as most of these infections (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis) are completely treatable, and with timely medication, the person can fully recover.
