The two most common reasons for infertility are sperm problems (aka male factor) and scar tissue (aka pelvic factor). Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are one of the most common reasons why a woman might have scarring around the tubes and ovaries. Canada is no exception to the rising rates of sexually transmitted infections. Even if it occurred more than ten years ago, any infection with chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to difficulty getting pregnant. In summary, sexually transmitted infections, even if they occur in your 20s, can affect your fertility later in life.
