A chlamydia infection can cause blockage of the fallopian tubes if not detected and treated on time. Fallopian tube blockage prevents spermatozoid and egg-cell movement and causes sterility. In addition to the most severe consequences such as sterility, 50% of all cases of Chlamydia infection manifest very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. In such cases, sterility can be the first sign of infection. The tubes’ passage can be checked using hystero-salpingo-graphy (HSG) or laparoscopy/hysteroscopy. If both tubes are blocked, “in vitro” fertilization is the sole way you can get pregnant. You can consult a gynecologist about this problem and to request the necessary diagnostics.
