Can chlamydia affect future fertility in males?

Answer 1

Chlamydia can sometimes cause scarring in men that can lead to infertility. It can also affect the testicles directly, which can decrease the quality of the sperm; this problem will sometimes improve after chlamydia treatment. But most people who have chlamydia are able to conceive in the future.

Answer 2

HPV does not affect future fertility. Chlamydia may affect future fertility by causing scarring in the fallopian tubes or male tubes.

Among women with chlamydia, 10 to 15% will have pelvic inflammatory disease. In many cases, they many not notice any symptoms although chlamydia is affecting their fertility.

Of those with PID, 20% may have scarring that affects fertility, and 9% may have future ectopic pregnancy.

So for every 100 women with chlamydia, two or three will be infertile and one to one and a half may have a future tubal pregnancy.
