I have recently been diagnosed with Chamydia. I have taken the antibiotics as required and I should be able to have sex again in five days. However I am worried about permanent damage. How long can chlamydia go untreated before it causes serious damage to my reproductive system?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. There is at least a month period is required if it causes permanent damage. So if the chlamydia is treated before one month than there is no possibility of damage. But if it creates damage than it will be permanent because it causes fibrosis in the genital system. It prevents sperm to reach to the ovary and so ovum. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
