    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Involuntary childlessness is a growing global concern.
    • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are increasingly linked to infertility.
    • STDs impact fertility through pregnancy wastage, neonatal deaths, and reproductive duct obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the connection between STDs and infertility.
    • To emphasize the role of STD control in preventing infertility.
    • To guide the development of targeted STD control programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of evidence linking STDs and infertility.
    • Analysis of STD sequelae on reproductive health.
    • Discussion of STD control program effectiveness.

    Main Results:

    • STDs adversely affect fertility via multiple mechanisms.
    • Existing STD control programs demonstrate efficacy in preventing infertility.
    • Identifying the scope and causative agents of STDs is key for program development.

    Conclusions:

    • STD control programs are vital for addressing the infertility crisis.
    • Integrating infertility prevention into STD control is essential.
    • Targeted interventions can mitigate the reproductive health burden of STDs.
