Will vaginitis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years. We have never used contraception, but I haven't gotten pregnant. I have vaginitis, but I am currently taking medication to treat it. It should be almost healed now. Could vaginitis lead to infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal inflammation generally does not cause infertility. It is recommended that if you have been together for two years without using any contraceptive measures during intercourse, pathological issues should not be ruled out, such as blocked fallopian tubes or abnormal sperm development. If you are planning to have a baby, it is still necessary to go to the obstetrics department of a hospital for relevant examinations to determine if there are any pathological issues. If there are pathological causes, active treatment should be pursued.
