While occasional use of lubricants is unlikely to cause long-term fertility problems, frequent or prolonged use of certain types may contribute to issues. Some lubricants can disrupt the vaginal microbiome, cause inflammation, or affect hormone balance. If you’re facing fertility challenges, it’s wise to consult your doctor about suitable alternatives.
