Can Hpv Cause Infertility?

When left untreated, many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to infertility. However, HPV shouldn't affect your ability to conceive. Although you may have heard that HPV can lead to fertility problems, that's generally not the case. Some strains of HPV can increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Can I get pregnant if I have HPV?

Genital warts caused by (low risk) HPV usually have no impact on your fertility, pregnancy or birth of your baby. If you have high risk HPV, "pre-cancer" (CIN) or cervical cancer, there could be some issues around getting pregnant and carrying the baby right through to the end.

What type of HPV causes infertility?

High-risk HPV 52 was the most common genotype among couples undergoing IVF treatment (18% of all HPV-positive samples), while other high-risk genotypes were less common.
