In addition to an increased risk for certain cancers what is another long-term consequence of sexually transmitted infections?

Answer 1

In addition to an increased risk for certain cancers, a long-term consequence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is infertility. Many STIs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause scarring and damage to the reproductive organs. This damage can result in complications such as ectopic pregnancies or difficulties in conceiving, significantly impacting an individual's reproductive health.
