Can scabies cause infertility

Scabies itself does not directly cause infertility. It is a skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, leading to severe itching and discomfort. While the stress and discomfort associated with scabies can affect overall health and well-being, there is no direct link between scabies and infertility. However, untreated scabies can lead to secondary infections, which might indirectly impact reproductive health.
