serious question....i found out i have chlamydia again...because it never went away?

Question

supposidly i got checked in december and cured in january and now i find out i still have it....will i be able to have kids now....i heard i cant? :(

Answer 1

Chlamydia is curable. If you were treated, you were probably cured. Is it possible your husband/partner has it but is asymptomatic? He should be tested if he hasn't already.

Also, if you do have it, you shouldn't get pregnant now as the disease can spread to the baby. You should get it treated immediately, as it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease which could leave you infertile if left untreated.

Answer 2

I have the same problem, I have chlamydia and HPV (got it from the same person...) I was treated back in December for Chlamydia but went back in February and I STILL had it! So I took another form of medicine but I think I might STILL have it! They told me to get tested next month...

Answer 3

it really depends on your body. I really doubt it. so if you took the meds taht may mean if you has sex agian with the same infected partner that you recontracted it. stay safe and you should be fine. i found out i had that after being with someone for a year. he was a dog but who knows when he gave it to me. in the begining or after cheating on me in between? That was a long time ago and ive had 3 kids since. dont stress

Answer 4

Chlamydia does not cause long-term problems if it is treated before any complications develop. Left untreated, chlamydia can lead to many complications, especially for women. If a woman has chlamydia when she gives birth, her newborn can be infected.

Having a chlamydia infection that was cured does not protect you from a future infection. A new exposure to chlamydia will reinfect you, even if you were treated and cured.

Having chlamydia increases your risk of becoming infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if you are exposed to HIV.1

Untreated chlamydia can cause a variety of complications.

Complications in women include:

* Inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis).
* Inflammation of the urethra (urethritis).
* Inflammation of the lining of the uterus (endometritis).
* Inflammation of the glands at the opening of the vagina (Bartholin glands).
* Inflammation in the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries (pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID).
* Pelvic infection (abscess).
* Infertility.
* A rare liver inflammation (Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome).

Complications in pregnant women include:

* Pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic, or tubal, pregnancy).
* Miscarriage.
* Preterm labor.
* Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM).

Complications in newborns include:

* Premature delivery. A premature infant has an increased risk of health problems.
* Inflammation of the surface of the eyes and the lining of the eyelids (conjunctivitis). About one-half of newborns who have chlamydia get conjunctivitis.
* Infection of the nose and throat.
* Lung infections, such as pneumonia.
* Ear infection (otitis media).
* Urethritis, though this is very rare in infants.

Answer 5

You probably will be okay to have kids if you get treated again - and if the guy who gave it to you is the guy you intend to have kids with, HE needs to be treated too. So do any other guys you may have had recently. See, there IS good reason to hold off getting horizontal too soon, isn't there?

Answer 6

I think it depends on how long you've had it and how serious it was.
