Will sexually transmitted diseases affect fertility?

　　Q: I had been infected before I got married. sexually transmitted diseases , although it was cured later, I was always a little worried. Especially now that I’m married, my mother-in-law is urging me to have a child, but I haven’t been able to get pregnant after trying for a while. I wonder if I’ve had sexually transmitted diseases in the past that would affect my fertility?

　　A: Sun Yat-sen Memorial of Sun Yat-sen University Hospital Dr. Xuan, deputy director of the Department of Urology, introduced that at present, sexually transmitted diseases in my country disease The most common ones are gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, genital warts and syphilis. In recent years, sexually transmitted diseases have been on the rise, with non-gonococcal urethritis and syphilis rising most rapidly. In view of the above reasons, people should keep themselves clean in daily life and avoid unclean sexual behavior. If you suspect you have sexually transmitted diseases, you should go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time.

　　The development of modern medicine has made the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases more accurate. For gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis, choose sensitive antibiotics, such as azithromycin, and use them for 3-7 days. Most of the two sexually transmitted diseases can be cured at the same time. In addition to drug treatment, patients should pay attention to not eating spicy food, not drinking alcohol, and paying attention to vaginal hygiene in daily life. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and sexual partners should also undergo the same treatment. Sexual intercourse or the use of condoms should be avoided to prevent "ping-pong" infection (because one party is not cured, resulting in mutual infection between the two parties).

　　After getting a sexually transmitted disease, male Patients are susceptible to balanitis, epididymitis, prostatitis and vas deferens, female Patients are susceptible to Cervicitis、Uterus endometritis, salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease . The main reason for complications is that patients avoid medical treatment and cannot receive early and effective treatment. Pathogens multiply and exist in the reproductive tract, causing damage to tissues and causing local pain, nodule formation, etc., which will not only cause physical discomfort but also affect the patient's fertility.

　　In the treatment of testicular and epididymal nodules, you can use some physical therapy methods, such as iontophoresis or ultrashort wave therapy, or add some traditional Chinese medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood clots while anti-inflammatory. However, it is not advisable to use hot water (temperature greater than 40 degrees Celsius) to apply to the testicles, so as not to affect the spermatogenic function of the testicles. Even though some female patients take many drugs to treat gynecological diseases, their condition still does not improve. At this time, it is necessary to check whether there are pathogenic microorganisms in the reproductive organs, choose appropriate antibiotics for symptomatic treatment, and also add physical therapy. Unless combined with very serious gynecological diseases, most female patients' fertility will not be affected after sexually transmitted diseases are cured.
