Can Chlamydia Make Men Infertile?

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs that can affect both men and women. ¹ In men, if chlamydial infection is left untreated it can lead to epididymitis which can cause permanent damage to the testicles and epididymis causing infertility. ² Studies also suggest that chlamydia infection can cause sperm damage leading to decreased motility, increased non-viable forms of sperm and could also lead to DNA fragmentation (when the sperm DNA breaks into smaller fragments or pieces). ³

Although treatment can effectively cure the infection, it is advised to practice safe sex and get tested to reduce transmission. ⁴ One quick way to get tested is through LifeCell’s at-home Chlamydia and Gonorrhea - Male test. You can easily monitor your sexual health with this kit from the comfort and privacy of your home.
