In addition to congenital infertility, many types of infertility can also be caused by diseases or other comprehensive factors. Herpes is a skin abnormality caused by viral infection, and the type and degree of infection vary in the location and area of the body. So, can herpes cause infertility?
According to the nature of herpes
If it is just ordinary herpes, it may be caused by a temporary immune decline leading to virus infection, and most can be recovered through rest and antiviral treatment. However, genital herpes may affect the health of the cervix and fallopian tubes. This will lead to infertility. So what are the sources of infection for genital herpes?
1. Intimate contact
As long as there is different types of intimate contact with people suffering from genital herpes, they will be infected, including sexual contact and bodily fluid contact, which are all transmission channels. At the same time, there is also a possibility of infection if there is sharing of clothing that comes into contact with the body. So, genital herpes itself contains viruses in the skin or mucous membranes of the body.
2. Mother to child transmission
Most women with genital herpes are prone to infecting their newborns during childbirth. During pregnancy, the placenta and other body tissues are also channels that can lead to neonatal infections. Most women with genital herpes need to be completely cured before entering the pregnancy and childbirth preparation stage.
