Alarming: Increase in venereal diseases threatens young fertility!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - A worrying trend is emerging in Europe: the number of venereal diseases is constantly increasing, and the consequence of this could have catastrophic effects on fertility. According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the awareness of the young generation for the risks of sexually transmitted diseases (STIS) has dropped sharply. This leads to risky sexual behavior. "Safer sex" is increasingly neglected, and even serious diseases such as HIV appear less threatening for many due to medical advances. This is concerned with experts like Priv.-Doz. GDR. Michael Feichtinger from the Feichtinger desired baby Institut, who points out that many infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause long -term health damage that can lead to infertility. In serious cases, this can lead to a permanent loss of fertility in both men and women, such as ots.at reports.

infertility is not only an individual tragedy, but also a medical problem that affects many couples. According to the usz.ch , it affects about every sixth couple worldwide, with every fifth pair in Switzerland unintentionally childless. The causes are diverse: physical and psychological factors play a role as well as lifestyle. Stress, excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption and obesity are also important risk factors that can affect fertility. In men, the problem is often in poor sperm quality, in women hormonal imbalances and diseases of the reproductive organs can be the cause.

The infertility itself is often not noticeable, rather it is the side effects and different symptoms that make a suspicion improve. A close cooperation between the partners is crucial to counter unwanted childlessness. Experiences from reproductive medicine show that despite the challenges, many couples with the latest help can realize their dreams from a family. The importance of prevention, early diagnosis and education about sexual health cannot be emphasized enough. The awareness of the risks of venereal diseases could not only improve the health of young people, but also pave the way for a successful family start -up.
