If chlamydia affects fertility is it permanent?
In most cases, chlamydia does not cause permanent infertility. If detected early and treated promptly with antibiotics, the infection can be cured and fertility is usually preserved. However, if left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. These complications can cause permanent damage to the reproductive organs and lead to infertility.
It's important to seek medical attention and testing for chlamydia if you have any symptoms of the infection or are at risk of exposure. Early detection and treatment can help prevent long-term complications, including infertility.
