A member asked:
Is it true that if you have chlamydia for over a year that you can't have any kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Chlamydia can infect the delicate linings of the fallopian tubes and lead to blockage or scarring. A tubal pregnancy or infertility might result. Untreated disease is more likely to cause such a problem but even brief infections with this germ can do it.Some seem to avoid the complication in spite of the infection.
