The fallopian tube transports an egg to the uterus. Infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can cause fallopian tube blockage. Similarly, certain disorders might harm your uterus and result in secondary infertility.
In a previously fertile woman infection of pelvic organs can lead to secondary infertility which can follow
- Medical or surgical termination of pregnancy
- Spontaneous abortion
- Caesarean delivery
- Normal vaginal childbirth
- Infection in immediate post delivery period like pelvic infection, repeated urinary tract infection etc.
- Heavy bleeding following childbirth can cause stoppage of menstruation (SHEEHANS SYNDROME)
