B
Seeking prompt medical treatment for infections that involve the reproductive system is an essential means of preventing infertility problems, especially with STIs and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID causes scarring of the outside of the fallopian tubes, and gonorrhea can result in scarring or strictures of the internal fallopian tube. Either STIs or PID cause can result in an ectopic pregnancy when the fertilized ovum cannot pass through the tube.
