The answer is a simple yes to such an unsophisticated question

Sexual Abuse is any kind of sexual activity forced on a victim without consent. The physical, psychological and emotional distress experienced by the sexual abuse victim due to this kind of monstrosity is extreme.

Let’s stay away from physical consequences for a bit and concentrate on the long-lasting emotional and psychological ill effects.



Impacts of Sexual abuse

Infertility : Victims irrespective of age and gender, who have experienced sexual abuse at any time of their life, carry around truckload of issues like anxiety disorders, personality disorder and affective disorders.

Moreover, it affects the person’s interpersonal relationship especially intimate relationship.

This leads to incomplete sexual life which eventually becomes a cause for infertility.

The reason for the inability of the sexual abuse victims to have penetrative sex or the inability to deposit sperm inside vagina doesn’t have to be a physical malady alone rather it is psychological.
