Infertility with a broad etiological background has only been treated, but not prevented. With the exception of ovulation induction, the success rate of pregnancy in most cases has been rather dismal in view of the high socioeconomic burden. A questionnaire survey of the cost of infertility investigation and treatment has been undertaken, and it has been estimated that the cost of infertility due to the sequelae of sexually transmitted diseases ranges in the vicinity of $64 billion, which is to be compared with the prevention cost of $335,000. Recommendations on preventative aspects are discussed.
病因广泛的不孕症一直以来都只是得到了治疗，却未得到预防。除了诱导排卵外，鉴于高昂的社会经济负担，大多数情况下的妊娠成功率都相当低。已针对不孕症检查和治疗的费用开展了问卷调查，据估计，性传播疾病后遗症所致不孕症的费用约为640亿美元，而预防成本为33.5万美元。本文讨论了预防方面的建议。
