Chlamydia Damages Male Fertility

Chlamydia, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK, has been shown to damage male, as well as female, fertility. I think it is quite bad in the United States too and I believe I have heard some of these facts talked about on the news here in the States. The infection often goes undiagnosed because there are few obvious symptoms, but is known to cause infertility in women if untreated. Spanish researchers found it can damage sperm quality. The study of 143 men, was presented at an American Society of Reproductive Medicine conference.
