Does being diagnosed and treated for Chlamydia mean that I will absolutely never be able to have children?

Since this question is in Women's health, I'll assume you are female. Chlamydia can greatly reduce fertility in men. It can, if untreated, be very serious in women too and lead eventually to infertility. Go here for straight answers that are clear.\nhttp://www.engenderhealth.org/wh/inf/dchl.html

It still could be a STD. Chlamydia is very "silent" and many women never know that they have it. If you have the itch and bumps still, I would suggest seeing your doc ASAP because Chlamydia can cause sterility and you could never get pregnant. You could also have lice if the bumps are black in color. Rid will cure this without a prescription. If you have any obvious discharge-and it is not normal to have a thick, white discharge that smells bad, it is probably a STD.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that is caught from having unprotected sex with someone who has it....Many women do not have symptoms for Chlamydia and thus it goes untreated for a very long time. If Chlamydia is not treated it will slowly cause more and more scar tissue in a womens reproductive organs, eventually causing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Sometimes PID can be treated with medications and rest, but other times there is too much damage and the woman must have a hysterectomy. So you wife must have had Chlamydia, which in turn caused PID, and thus a hysterectomy.

Well when I wa 19 I had ovarian cancer.  They said that I couldnt have kids.  Now 8 years later I have three beautiful children.  You have to belive that miracles can and do happen.  Best of luck to you.

Yes, you can get pregnant, but if you do have an std, you can pass that along to your baby. Especially if you have Chlamydia, which if left untreated can cause blindness in the baby as it passes through the birth canal.  Also, if you continue to get std's, it can cause you to become sterile, which, in my opinion, you don't need children if you cannot protect yourself.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection, just like strep throat, etc.  So if you were treated with antibiotics (which I assume you were), and you never contracted it again, then you will be free of the disease and also incapable of passing it on.  You're free!

I do know that PCOS may make difficult for you to conceive, but it doesn't mean that you can't ever have children.\n\nThe disorder runs in my family, and I was told by my doctor that the best bet would be to stay on birth control pills until the time comes when I am ready to try to get pregnant. The hormones in the pills are supposed to slow the progress/development of the symptoms.\n\nYour doctor can do a symptom checklist to see if you fit the requirements for PCOS. If you do, or even if you don't, it might be a good idea to talk with your doctor about birth control hormone therapy.

I suffer from this too.  I was also told to keep an eye on my weight, so did more exercise and started eating more healthily. If you're finding that you're not managing to lose weight then it might be worth seeing your doctor/dietician to get some advice.  I was told that I'd still be able to have children, just that I might need to take some hormone supplements when trying to conceive.  Try not to worry hun, it's a really common problem and I know loads of people who have it and have managed to have children.\n\nWendy\nx

she probably just said that to scare you, I don't see how that would make a difference if you had many sexual partners. You should see a doctor to check if either you or your partner is infertile. also ask what you can do to maximize the chance of pregnancy

go to a dr.  Tell your mom its for something else.  Go in by yourself and let your dr know at the time of your visit you dont want your mom to know.  By law your dr cant discuss any sexual problems/issues with your parents even though you are a minor..  if you  cant go to the dr right away call and leave a mess to call you back when your mom is not home.  This could lead to other problems so go right away.  It also sounds like you could have a major infection and if not treated right away could lead to you being sterile

Chlamydia itself does not cause infertility.  Chlamydia, if left untreated, can cause something called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.  If PID goes untreated can lead to pelvic scarring.  In otherwords, after the disease is gone scar tissue builds up in the pelvic cavity and can block the Fallopian Tubes, thus rendering the female infertile.  How long that process takes depends on the person.

It's a STD that i believe is permanment, which means no cure but can be treated kinda.  It should matter to you if you have it and if you have had unprotected sex then you definitely have it for sure.  Go see your gyno and get checked out and learn more about the STD.  Also, if your bf has known that he's had it for over 2 years and said nothing then you should be very angry.  So you decide if you're going to be with him or not.  Just remember though, if you get with another guy you're going to have to tell him you have this too.

My first reaction was talk with a doctor about all of it, get checked regularly by your doctor.\n\nBut then I thought, heck you exist and apparently there many people in your family, so the odds of you being able to finish school and have kids afterwords seem to be in your favor.\n\nGood Luck with school and family, seriously a doctor can give you much better advice than anyone here can.

I am very sorry to hear you have endometriois. I was diagnosed with it when I was 16. I am now 24 and let me tell you, its not the most fun thing to deal with. Periods for me are very painful every month, I have pelvic pain also associtated with this now. The other people who answered were right, there is no cure, and you do have a timeline of if and when you can get pregnant. At 24 my timeline has passed, and I will never be able to bear my own children. Every case of endometriosis is different. You really shouldn't stress out over it. When you see your Dr. make sure to ask him/her ALL the questions you have. When I was first diagnosed they put me on birth control, pain pills, hormomones and testerone. But like I said it effects everyone differently. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get to feeling better soon. I sincerely feel for you.

The doc gave him Chlamydia anit biotics..and mine doc gave me the same things, just in case, as well is a treatment for my infection.  so, it IS possible for you to not get it from him, especially cause me and my bf had sex without a condom and, i still didn't get it.weird eh? but yes, it's possible..just let your doc know you want the meds for chlamydia..hope i could help!
