Self-Reported Infertility and Associated Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Among Women of Reproductive Age—National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, United States, 2013–2016

Conclusions In a nationally representative sample, 13.8% of reproductive-age women reported a history of infertility, of whom 40% did not access health care. Self-reported PID was associated with infertility, especially in young women. Annual chlamydia and gonorrhea screening to avert PID may reduce the burden of infertility in the United States.
