instruction: hello doctor I am a 36 year old male I previously had a chlamydia infection and was successfully treated will such previous infection interfere or affect my fertility I recently had a scrotal examination and the results were normal
output: hello chlamydia infection persistence or recurrence can definitely cause an apparent increase in the pus cell and abc count in the seminal fluid which can easily decrease the total sperm count and its quality if you have been treated it is good but again it takes 90 days for new spermatids to form adults and become functionally mature for fertilization it is always best to get a repeat semen analysis and culture done to be sure that there is no repeat or recurrence of chlamydia infection if you have been sexually active post your previous examination or if your partner was not treated along with you
