Does long-term use of condoms lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

Doctor, you and my boyfriend just broke up for work, and I don't want to get pregnant early, so I've been using contraception. I don't know if it will affect getting pregnant in the future, so I'm consulting with you. Does long-term use of condoms cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Using condoms generally never leads to infertility and there is no necessary link between them and other diseases, so they are safe. The reliability of condom contraception can reach 95%, making it a relatively safe and effective method. Other contraceptive methods, such as birth control pills, are also relatively safe. If the condom is not rusted, the probability of pregnancy is very low, and at the same time, condoms can prevent the spread of diseases. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
