This is due to prolonged studies, career related delay, open society with youngsters opting for one night stands and multiple partners. This allows a lot of opportunities for sexually transmitted disease (STD) as an important cause of infertility. These infections do not spare the males also. So it is essential for youngsters to be aware of STDs not only HIV/AIDs but also innocuous ones like Chlamydia that can silently destroy the reproductive system.

USA reports more than 19 million new cases of STIs every year and 25% of these are in the teens. The American Social Health Association puts the rate of STD related fertility problems as 15% of all infertilities. Recurrent episodes of PID further increase the risk of infertility.
