A member asked:
Does a chlamydia infection itself cause infertility or only when the infection causes pid? if i was treated 2 weeks after infection is my fertility ok
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Chlamydia may enter the female genital tract and cause injury & scaring to the sensitive fallopian tubes or worse. If an infection is detected prior to damage & treated effectively, the problems can be minimized and natural pregnancy can occur. With todays tech a willing couple can harvest eggs, fertalize & implant embryos, bypassing the tubes. Expensive but possible
