Untreated chlamydia

Hi

I am new to this so hopefully I posted in the right place.

I have had a really upsetting few days and I am just looking for any advice really. I was with my ex boyfriend for 7 years. We have been broken up for 1.5 year and I recently discovered he had been unfaithful pretty much throughout our relationship.

As if that wasn’t enough, I have tested positive for chlamydia. I decided to get tested after discovering he had been sleeping around. I hadn’t been with anyone before or since.

I have so concerned about what this means for me fertility and how much damage this has caused given I must have had it for potentially 8 years.

Can anyone offer any advice or been in a similar situation? I feel awful and can’t stop crying.

Hi I’m a sexual health practitioner, Firstly Flowers to you, can I suggest you contact your local sexual health clinic and speak to a nurse or health advisor there, they should be able to reassure and explain the infection in depth to you.
I will says it’s unlikely to effect your fertility, it’s those who have had repeated Untreated infections that can lead to issues, But please contact the clinic,
