A member asked:
The 1st time having sex i went to the dr a week later & found out i contracted chlamydia. is a week long enough for significant damage like scarring??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: No damage is likely from a chlamydial infection diagnosed and treated within a week of catching it. Usually it takes several weeks or months for the tubes to be scarred. Bad luck, but I'm glad it was promptly diagnosed and presumably you have been treated. Best wishes.
