This is good info. Infections in the reproductive organs are usually very treatable if caught on time. Men manifest symptoms much quicker than women, so it's always very beneficial for men to let their sexual partner know about infections, so that she can go have hers treated in a timely fashion. If not, the infection may spread to the fallopian tubes and cause scar tissue to form there. It is in the fallopian tubes that the egg is fertilized to then become implanted in the uterus. If there is scar tissue in a fallopian tube, the fertilization process is greatly compromised. This is why it's important to have the infections treated before they spread.
