We know that Chlamydia infection can cause abdominal infection resulting in impaired fallopian tube function, and that in turn can cause problems conceiving.
What's going on? Chlamydia infection produces an inflammation that can destroy the cilia in the fallopian tube or even worse convolutions that destroy the natural motor movement of the fallopian tube. Both of these functions must work in order for the egg or a fertilized egg to be transported to the uterine cavity. Chlamydia infection can lead to difficulty conceiving due to reduced or broken fallopian tube function, often called “clogged fallopian tubes”
The press loves to write about it! Casual sex, high risk of Chlamydia with subsequent sterility. A lot of people are naturally super stressed by this. Terrified that one has been infected and runs and tests himself. A guilty conscience and anxiety that future child desire has been put to shreds. How could I be so stupid!
However, all literature shows that the chance of having suffered an infertility problem is small. If you do not have symptoms of an abdominal infection and test yourself for safety, only a few percent of people who test positive will get “clogged fallopian tubes”. The vast majority will not suffer any damage at all. It's important to know!
Of course, this does not mean that one should ignore the problem. Chlamydia can cause “clogged fallopian tubes” and it is therefore advisable to get tested if you feel the reason for this.
But remember that if you feel healthy, you are usually healthy. One should not go around worrying about things unnecessarily.
“What if I got a severe inflammation that entailed “clogged fallopian tubes” then?” If that happens, there is still help to be had. IVF in the vast majority of cases will give the desired result.
