Do Frequent Recurrent Discharges Cause Infertility?

Frequent recurrent discharges are among the leading reasons for seeking a medical examination. Despite treatment, the discharge may not go away or may recur shortly after. In women who have vaginitis more than 4-5 times a year, underlying chronic diseases and immune system disorders should be investigated. Additionally, vaginal douching for hygiene purposes can also cause frequent infections and should be avoided. Practices that disrupt the normal vaginal flora are common causes of infection. Furthermore, it is recommended that partners also consult with a urologist regarding infection.
