A. Not all vaginal infections are sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and to
specifically ask about STIs sounds judgmental in addition to not providing adequa
information.
B. Anatomically, there is a continuous passage from the vagina into the uterus and on
into the fallopian tubes and ovaries. A vaginal infection can lead to residual scarri
of the tubes from the inflammatory process. This puts the patient at increased risk
for ectopic pregnancies and infertility.
C. There are several treatment options for this patient.
D. Genetic defects may play a role in this patient’s problem, but the higher likelihood
is that her scarred tubes are due to a vaginal infection.
