Question 2

is there a link between hpv and infertility?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Scarring could obstruct access of sperm cells to eggs released from the ovaries. Treatments can interfere with production of cervical mucus needed by sperm to help them on their way to the egg in fallopian tubes. If there isn't enough of this mucus, the sperm may never make it to their destination.

Question 3

does hpv infection lead to infertility?

Accepted Answer

No: Hpv infections do not cause infertility.  If hpv infections cause severe or high grade changes to the cells of the cervix, you may have to undergo a leep or conization procedure.  These procedures carry a small risk of causing the cervical canal to scar, making it difficult for sperm to travel up into uterus.  The treatments for this rare scarring are easy and will fix infertility!

Then avoid putting yourself at risk to catch STDs in the future. Use condoms always.
