Extensive Peritoneal and Pelvic Granulomatous Inflammation Due to Syphilis Infection Manifesting as Primary Infertility: A Case Report

Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide and can result from various factors, including sexually transmitted infections. Although syphilis is known to contribute to a small number of infertility cases through chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which ultimately impairs fertility, detailed descriptions of such cases are limited. In this report, we present a case of primary infertility caused by extensive peritoneal granulomatous inflammation, adhesions, and tubal obstruction resulting from syphilis.

Abstract

Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide and can result from various factors, including sexually transmitted infections. Although syphilis is known to contribute to a small number of infertility cases through chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which ultimately impairs fertility, detailed descriptions of such cases are limited. In this report, we present a case of primary infertility caused by extensive peritoneal granulomatous inflammation, adhesions, and tubal obstruction resulting from syphilis.
