Preserving reproductive choice: preventing STD-related infertility in women

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of young and sexually-active women are becoming involuntarily sterile because of an epidemic caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. These bacteria are responsible for the majority of STD-related reproductive tract damage in women. The asymptomatic nature of these bacteria makes detection and prevention more difficult. Furthermore, delay in treatment could complicate the infection which could lead to infertility. This could be prevented through prompt and accurate treatment in case of an infection and by educating people about chlamydia.
