Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Prostatitis, Epididymitis and block in reproductive passage(for you), Pelvic inflammatory infection, tubal block (for your female partners) lead to infertility for both and ectopic gestation with your partners.

hi dr thanks for the reply. i was reading up another post in this website :
http://www.yyyyyyyyy.com/yyyyyyyyyyyyy/What-does-yyyyyyyyy-igg-13-mean/111728
it basically mentioned not to worry about it since it basically means that an antibody has already been built up against it. Im so confused. i do hope you can clear up my confusion. thanks

Brief Answer:
As safety measure, it is better to take treatment for Chlamydia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Yes, it is partially correct.
Chlamydia IgG positive does not indicate an active infection. It could be either a remnance of a past infection or an active infection.
We have to be cautious to avoid permanent future damages.
So it is better to have a treatment rather than ignore the same.
