Hi.
Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.

Chlamydial infection is one of the main causes of infertility. Chlamydial organisms can either damage sperm or affect its motility. It also affects the ciliary movement of the fallopian tube interfering with motility of egg. It can also cause abortion.

Azithromycin is used in the treatment of chlamydial infection. By inhibiting the infection, Azithromycin facilitates ovulation and increases the chances of pregnancy. So continue Azithromycin as per your Dr's advice. You should take a full course to prevent the development of resistance.

I hope this is useful to you.
