Reply To: How likely is infertility, really?

The risk is real and it is much smaller than the way it is written about suggests.

The pathway is chlamydia going untreated long enough to cause pelvic inflammatory disease, and PID sometimes causing scarring. Each step is a fraction of the one before. Most people treated for chlamydia never develop PID at all.

You were diagnosed and treated. That is the intervention that prevents the pathway.
