A member asked:
Could multiple rapes (including one as a child) cause infertility later in life from scar tissue or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The perpetrators of rape can pass a STD (chlamydia/gonorrhea) that could scar your tubes and make natural pregnancy difficult or impossible.Child rape can also damage the equipment enough to create problems. A thorough evaluation with an OBGyn could provide you with a better picture of any damage. Tests can be done to provide basic info.
