Males can still produce sperm after getting chlamydia. If chlamydia causes scarring in the male reproductive tract, it's possible that sperm count will be decreased due to the blockage.

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, and it can infect the urethra (the tube inside the penis). Other bacteria in the penis do not cause chlamydia. It's spread by oral, anal, and vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to a woman with chlamydia.
