Does prolonged contraception cause infertility?

Patient's question:

I got married in July of this year. Currently, I don't want to have children for two years. I heard that long-term contraception can lead to infertility. Could you please ask the doctor if this is true? How can I use contraception without affecting future fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Using condoms for a long time does not lead to infertility. Condoms can also be used to reduce infertility caused by inflammatory infections and treat immunological infertility. If you have normal sexual activity for six months and still cannot get pregnant, it can be considered infertility. There are many reasons for infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes, gynecological inflammation, poor follicular development, and so on, which can all lead to infertility. Additionally, abnormal semen from the male partner can also affect the chances of pregnancy. It is recommended that you visit a hospital three days after your period to have a fallopian tube hydrotubation, and if necessary, undergo a fallopian tube to check if the tubes are unobstructed.
