    Question

    Hi. I had Chlamydia once before and I know the effects it can have on a women's reproductive organs. Can Chaymdia flare back up once treated? If so I think this happened to me. I am terrfied if I can't have any children. How can I know if I am still fertile?

    Answer

    The damage to your future fertility is caused by not getting treated right away. So if you think you are infected again, please go see the doctor. Remember, to be cured your sexual partner and anyone he is having sex with must all be treated and cured.
