Is gynecological inflammation harmful to women?

Patient's question:

I noticed some abnormalities in my leukorrhea a while ago, but I was unwilling to go to the hospital's gynecology department for a check-up. I'm very afraid of the doctor's thorough examination, feeling like my privacy is completely gone. However, my husband insists on suggesting I go to the hospital for a check-up. I want to know how serious the harm of gynecological inflammation is to women, and whether it can be okay if left untreated.
What kind of help I need: Is the harm of gynecological inflammation to women significant?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal inflammation poses significant harm to women.
1. Due to the lack of timely treatment for inflammation, inflammatory cells can easily kill sperm or block the normal passage of sperm, preventing them from entering the uterine cavity to combine with eggs, indirectly leading to female infertility.
2. Untreated inflammation can keep the body in a state of prolonged inflammatory invasion, adversely affecting the immune system, metabolism, and endocrine system, posing severe harm to overall health.
