Research shows that about 10 per cent of human infertility is caused by tubule obstruction, and this is usually, although not always, caused by infectious diseases transmitted sexually. One-third of African men are sterile because of epididymal obstruction caused by sexually transmitted diseases. For example, gonorrhea causes irreversible tubule blockage. This type of infertility caused by sexually transmitted diseases requires the most complex medical treatment, which includes new methods of assisted conception or reproductive technology.
Obesity and Infertility
WHO now recommends that persons that are overweight or obese should lose at least five per cent of their body weight using lifestyle changes such as dietary or health spa/detox clinics before attempting conception.
Some 26 million new sexually transmitted infections were diagnosed in 2018 and nearly half of them were among people ages 15 to 24, according to a CDC analysis. About 20% of all Americans had an STI on any given day that year.

GENEVA, Jan 21 (Reuters) - The United States under President Joe Biden intends to join the COVAX vaccine facility that aims to deliver vaccines to poor countries, his chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci told the World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday.
“President Biden will issue a directive later today which will include the intent of the United States to join COVAX and support the ACT-Accelerator to advance multilateral efforts for COVID-19 vaccine, therapeutic, and diagnostic distribution, equitable access, and research and development,” Fauci told the WHO executive board. The United States will remain a member of the WHO, he said. Biden’s predecessor Donald Trump halted funding to the WHO, where the United States is the largest donor, and announced a process to withdraw from the agency in July 2021.
