Can Chlamydia cause infertility in males?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 05/31/2017

Yes, recent studies have shown that Chlamydia can harm the quality of the male sperm, as the degree of sperm fragmentation in these men's sample is almost three times higher than in healthy males. Poor sperm motility, having defective shapes, or a low sperm count are the sperm parameters that could be affected by a Chlamydia infection.
