Antibiotics

Sometimes infection is present in one or both partners. Severe female infections, known as pelvic inflammatory disease, are caused by Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other bacteria and can permanently damage the ovaries, tubes, uterus, or other organs. In males, the testicles, vas deferens, urethra and other organs can be damaged by Chlamydia or gonorrhea.

Infections are ruled out in your and your partner’s initial evaluation. If infection is present, there are many effective antibiotics available.
