Can chlamydia and gonorrhoea cause male infertility?

STI in men : Usually sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea affect the tube from the bladder through the penis in men. The symptoms are generally burning pain with urination and discharge from the penis. The issue of transmitting the infection to women is the most critical issue because women can have the infection and yet not notice any new symptoms.

In theory, yes...: ...but very rarely. Infertility in men due to these STDs results primarily because of long delayed treatment despite obvious symptoms, and only after the complication called epididymitis. Ir rarely after prolonged urethral infection, scarring and blocking it. If you haven't had blocked urine flow or severe pain and swelling of both testicles, there is little chance of infertility.
