Does vaginitis and endometritis interfere with conception?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me if vaginitis and endometritis interfere with conception?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the interference caused by vaginitis is generally small, while the interference caused by endometritis is relatively large! The reasons for infertility caused by endometritis (1) After sperm enters the uterine cavity, inflammatory factors such as bacterial toxins and leukocyte absorption can lead to sperm death or reduced motility, increasing the number of sperm entering the fallopian tubes and thus interfering with conception. (2) The fertilized egg is difficult to implant in an inflamed endometrium, or implantation is hindered due to anti-endometrial bodies, leading to infertility. (3) The implantation of the fertilized egg is unstable, making it extremely easy to miscarry, resulting in infertility.
