I have chlamydia and have had it for a long time.?

I had an operation about 5 months ago and it was discovered that i have chlamydia. And I have had it for a while. So i have been doing research on it an from wat i can gther I have now got PID. Wat i want to know is there a cure for PID and wat is the cure rate like.
Will I have to have more operations and can i have kids?
Also when I get my periods i get incredible pains is there anything i can do to stop the pain?
I am 29 and would like to have another child, but am very scared that i wont be able to.
Can someone please help me????

I also forgot to mention that the doctor said that there is quite a bit of scar tissue from the chlamydia.

Important question - have you gotten treatment for the chlamydia?
PID is pelvic inflammatory disease and it can be caused by the chlamydia and treatment for PID is antibiotics by mouth or intravenously depending on how bad the PID is and you take for at least a week.
Question - how did your doctor know you have scar tissue and where is the scar tissue?
It seems you have not been adequately examined or treated or you don't have complete information.
Advise - go to a gynecologist worth his/her mettle and GET CHECKED OUT ADEQUATELY!

I myself could never get pregnant because I had too much scar tissue from Chlymadia and I had a bad history of PID. You may be able to find a good gyno. to help you get over your problem and eventually have more kids but don't put high hopes into it. I am 43 and have suffered with PID all of my life. I don't know about a cure rate. You are still young. If you have sex with someone other than your normal partner you will get it all over again. Men can be carriers as well. If you get a new partner make them get treated too so that you dont' continually pass it on to each other.

YOU CAN TRY IN VITRO http://www.ivf.com/ivffaq.html IF YOU ARE STERILE CHANCES ARE IT'LL WORK AND MOST PATIENTS END UP HAVING HAVE MULTIPLES WITH THAT PROCEDURE.

Studies have shown that between 20-40% of women with untreated Chlamydia will go on to develop scarring inside the Fallopian tubes, or bands of scar tissue ("adhesions") inside the pelvis. Inflammation from the untreated infection creates this scarring. This impacts fertility by blocking the tubes so fertilization cannot occur, and by "webbing" the open end of the Fallopian tubes to impair egg "capture" at ovulation. One author (Mardah, 2004 ) posits that the "The tubal infection may become chronic in spite of antibiotic therapy." This would infer that even after treatment a percentage of women may have tubal damage.

How Will Chlamydia Affect MY Fertility?

It has been calculated that perhaps 1,000,000 women per year will get PID of some type. Of those, an estimated 10% will develop infertility. One landmark study (Westrom, 1996) followed almost 1,500 women, of whom about 2/3 had confirmed PID as documented by a laproscope. Among the women with a PID history 7.8% had tubal occlusion where the tube was scarred closed. By contrast, a comparison group without PID had less than 1% tubal occlusions.

In this same study it was determined that the risk of PID caused infertility was tied to:

The number of times a woman had PID:
Zero episodes---1%
Two episodes---11.3%
Three episodes--19.8%


The severity of the infection influenced the relative risk (RR) of tubal infertility:

Mild infection-------- RR 1.0
Moderate infection---RR 1.8
Severe infection------RR 5.6


PID can be caused by other organisms (eg gonorrhea, anaerobic bacteria), thus this study attempted to identify the risk of tubal damage from having only Chlamydia :

Nonchlamydial--------RR 1.0
Chlamydia-------------RR 1.7


From this data it can be inferred that the greatest impact of Chlamydia on fertility would arise if a woman had a severe PID and/or repeated infections.

Geez Please go to the doctor and have them handle that!! If you have those dieases and dont make effort in curing them then hell no you will not be having any kids!! You cant be this clueless at age 29 c'mon now!! Just go get cured Thats how so many innocent ppl catch dieases because the infected dont get cured when they are aware there is something not right down there!!
