Does previously having chlamydia make you infertile |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi.over a year ago i found out that i had chlamydia. i got treated but i dont know how long i had it for..me and my husband have been trying to concieve a child for over the past year now but nothing is working how do i know if i am?? what do i do please help Dear Jessicia: I understand your concern about infertility. Certainly Chlamydia has infertility as a complication; however this happens only if Chlamydia was left untreated for a long period of time. Scarring in the fallopian tubes caused by Chlamydia infection may lead to infertility. If a couple can’t conceive after a year of having unprotected sex, a diagnosis of infertility might be granted. There are many safe and effective therapies for overcoming infertility. These treatments significantly improve your chances of becoming pregnant. Treatment of infertility depends on the cause, how long you've been infertile, the age of the partners and many personal preferences. First I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist to rule out the most common causes such as hormonal imbalances and for a more detailed study, he or she would refer you to a specialist. This is a commitment for you and your partner. I wish you a successful pregnancy. |
