Question

The disease that may cause sterility due to infection spreading to sex organs is

• A. Measles
• B. Syphilis
• C. Gonorrhea
  
• D. Mumps

Answer 1

The correct option is D Mumps

Mumps is a viral disease caused by the mumps virus. Initial signs and symptoms often include fever, muscle pain, headache, poor appetite, and feeling tired which is then followed by painful swelling of one or both parotid salivary glands. Mumps is highly contagious and spreads rapidly among people living in close contacts. Complications may include meningitis, pancreatitis, inflammation of the heart, permanent deafness, and testicular inflammation which uncommonly results in infertility. Women may develop ovarian swelling but this does not increase the risk of infertility.

So, the correct answer is 'Mumps'.
