Researchers want to understand how common sexually transmitted infections are among young women and whether they affect fertility. This study will also look at the bacteria that naturally live in the female reproductive tract and how they may play a role in pregnancy. By learning more about these connections, doctors hope to better help women who struggle to conceive.
Sexually transmitted infections can sometimes damage the reproductive system and make it harder to get pregnant, but we don't have clear numbers on how often this happens or exactly why. This research aims to fill that gap so doctors can better understand and prevent fertility problems related to these infections.

This is a long-term observational study, meaning researchers will follow you over time rather than give you a medication or procedure to test. You would likely be asked to complete health questionnaires, provide samples (such as swabs or blood), and share information about your medical history. The exact schedule of visits and what's involved would be explained to you when you enroll.
