Factors Affecting Fertility (STDs)
Several factors influence fertility. They include one's lifestyle, age, use of drugs (both over-the-counter and prescription), and the time when sex is done. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the significant factors that affect fertility in this case. There are different types of STDs that affect fertility. For instance, studies have shown that trichomoniasis and gonorrhea damage the fallopian tube (Smolarczyk et al., 2021). Other STDs may be observed presenting, like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which affects the reproductive organs in females. PID has been linked to tubal factor infertility, proving that STDs are integral in causing infertility.
Reasons for the Rise in Inflammatory Markers in STD/PID
The major causes of PID and STDs are microorganisms, including bacteria. When pathogens are detected in the body, cytokines and interleukins 1, 6, and 8 are secreted (Paulis, 2018). The tumor necrosis factor then propagates the inflammatory process in conjunction with Interleukin 1. The neutrophil-activating peptides are then activated by infiltration of significant tumor necrosis factor quantities into the body organs (Paulis, 2018). These body organs include those in the pelvic region. In the laboratory, inflammatory markers are tested as procalcitonin and C-reactive protein.
Prostatitis and Infection and the Causes of Systemic Reaction
Specific bacteria strains usually cause prostatitis. Infections happen when the bacteria present in the urine leak into the prostate space. When a disease is diagnosed, antibiotics are immediately diagnosed to treat it. Failure to eliminate the bacteria leads to the recurrence of prostatitis. Hence, the condition is referred to as chronic bacterial prostatitis (Archer et al., 2020). A systemic reaction is induced when bacteria spread from the urinary tract into the prostate. Both acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis proves a systemic reaction. Common STDs that ignite a systemic reaction include gonorrhea, HIV, and chlamydia. Other causatives o...
