Q: Help!

wassup! My name is ciara and I have a few questions and I was wondering if any of you could please help answer them...

Ok, I have a daughter, amari, who is 1 yrs old. I got pregnant with her at 14 and gave birth at 15. Her father was my first sexual partner.

After me and her father broke up, she was 2 weeks old, I got into a new relationship and had unprotected sex with him all the time. Soon after that, I didn't feel right so I went to get tested and was diagnosed with chlamydia and gonnorhea. I got both cured with antibiotics. I broke up with him soon after.

I am now hpv positive and I don't know who gave it to me, its between amari's father or my last boyfriend.

But my question is, is there a way I can find out if I can have anymore kids? Because I hear that chlamydia and gonnorhea can scar the fallopian tubes...I know their are procedures where the scar tissue can be removed but is there a certain test where they can determine if I have scarred fallopian tubes?

Thanks!

Untreated std's like chlamydia and gonorrhea can develop into pid (pelvic inflammatory disease) which can cause scarring of the tubes.
I would speak to your ob/gyn about the liklihood of this being an issue for you.
There is a test called an hsg (hysterosalpingogram) which can check whether or not the tubes are clear and can, also, usually determine if there is scar tissue affecting their placement and position.

That would be the first step.

The success of any reconstructive treatment (if any should prove necessary) would depend on the extent of the damage.
