I'm male and 34 years old. I have only limited sexual encounters so i can remember when was my last. After that, i notice a discharge after a week but didn't mind because i sometimes experience wet dreams before. for the past year i experience mild symptoms like pain in the testicle(it qickly go away), itching on the tip of my penis(sometimes), sometimes pain while urinating(but its tolerable), and constipation including blood in my stool but i blame it on my hemmorhoids. but recently i experience pain in my upper left abdomen everytime i ejaculated. i went to see a urologist, upon a series of test i found out that i have chlamydia. he gave me 1 week of antiobiotics. It went fine, but when i started to masturbate again it came back this time the pain was so unbearable. i heard that this std will surely make me sterile. My question is, am i already sterile? what are my chances considering that i had it for 2 years already? i need your advice.. thanks
As far as sterility goes, it's not that every person with Chlamydia becomes sterile. The length of time it is left untreated will definitely have an impact, but a doctor is the only person to put your mind to rest. It's a simple enough procedure to see if you are infertile - masturbating into a cup and having the semen tested. Your doctor will be able to do this test in office or refer you to the appropriate specialist.

Damage can seriously be happening to your organs and tissue. My best advice to go straight to your doctor, don't worry about the embarrassment about it, your health and your life are priceless. No one can make you go to the doctor, but I can tell, you'd be smart to. [ Swe3ti3boO's advice column | Ask Swe3ti3boO A Question ]
