Can chlamydia to make you infertile?

Yes: Chlamydia infection can lead to both male and female infertility.

Damage to the tubes: Chlamydia can lead to scarring of the tubes, and can be a major factor in infertillity. It also increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus, most likely in the tube.).

Yes: There is some evidence of a 30% risk of tubal damage leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy after chlamydial infection. Very often, it is a silent infection & may be present for many years. There are some that test every patient for std every year. We did a planned parenthood study years ago showing a 28% incidence of chlamydia over a year in all patients, n one of whom had symptoms.

Tubal damage: The main impact (and it can be extremely significant) of chlamydia on female fertility is tubal damage. This includes adhesions ('scar') around the tubes and/or ovaries, thickening of the tubal walls and disruption of the cilia that line them, to partial or complete blockage. A hysterosalpingogram (hsg) is often the first step in evaluating tubal damage, whether from chlamydia or other causes.

Maybe: Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease other than hpv. Every exposure gives you a 25% risk of tubal damage and resulting infertility. Also, if you had chlamydia you may be at increased risk of a tubal pregnancy. As soon as you are late on your period, do a pregnancy test and when positive, an early ultrasound to document that the pregnancy is in the uterus. Hope this helps.
