Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic,
infections and ulcers after coitus are suggestive of sexually transmitted infection which sometimes can be due to multiple organism. If it spreads high into uterus it may cause tube infection and blockage.
I recommend that you get tested at the earliest and take appropriate medicine for the same which will also be given to your partner to prevent reinfection.
Thanks,
