Does being diagnosed and treated for Chlamydia mean that I will absolutely never be able to have children? Since this question is in Women's health, I'll assume you are female. Chlamydia can greatly reduce fertility in men. It can, if untreated, be very serious in women too and lead eventually to infertility. Go here for straight answers that are clear. http://www.engenderhealth.org/wh/inf/dch... No, but you should see your doctor. i cannot tell. you should ask the specialist you go to. Hopefully when you treat your illness, you'll be able to. I wish you that. WELL,DEPENDING ON THE EXTENT IT HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO YOUR REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS,IT CAN DETERMINED, BUT OTHERWISE ITS DIFFICULT TO ANSWER IT. However its is completely curable once its detected with antiboitic such as # Azithromycin 1 gram by mouth once, or # Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily for seven days (Please consult the doctor if you intend to take this drugs) Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide - 鈥?about 4 million cases of chlamydia occur in the USA each year. Not all people exhibit symptoms of chlamydia. About half of all men and three-quarters of all women who have chlamydia have no symptoms and do not know that they are carriers of the disease. The disease is transmitted by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. It can be serious but it is easily cured if detected in time. It is also, and possibly more importantly, the biggest preventable cause of blindness in the world. Blindness occurs as a complication of trachoma (chlamydia conjunctivitis). Almost half of all women who get chlamydia and aren't treated by a doctor will get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a generic term for infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries. PID can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs, which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming pregnant, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and other dangerous complications of pregnancy. Chlamydia causes 250,000 to 500,000 cases of PID every year in the U.S. [1] In women, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain in the abdomen, painful sexual intercourse, fever, painful urination or the urge to urinate more frequently than usual. In men, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: a painful or burning sensation when urinating, an unusual discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles, or fever. Chlamydia in men can spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility. Chlamydia causes more than 250,000 cases of epididymitis in the USA each year. Chlamydia may also cause Reiter's Syndrome, especially in young men. About 15,000 men get Reiter's Syndrome from chlamydia each year in the USA, and about 5,000 are permanently affected by it. As many as half of all infants born to mothers with chlamydia will be born with the disease. Chlamydia can affect infants by causing spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), premature birth, blindness, and pneumonia. Fortunately, chlamydia can be effectively cured with antibiotics once it is detected. Current Centers for Disease Control guidelines provide for the following treatments: * Azithromycin 1 gram by mouth once, or * Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily for seven days. |
