chlamydia and fertility - please advice

I'm not a doctor, but I think your husband's problem is that he didn't get diagnosed and treated early enough, hence the repeated problems he's having now.

How is chlamydia treated?


Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics.

Make sure your sexual partner also gets treatment. Otherwise, the treated partner becomes re-infected. Repeated infection can cause far worse fertility problems in women.


Not all antibiotics are effective. There are two major groups of antibiotics that work, so make sure you get one of these.


Tetracyclines: the usual prescribed drug is doxycycline. One tablet should be taken twice a day for a week.


Macrolides: azithromycin is the most convenient treatment because you take four tablets at the same time.


If you have chlamydia, do what you can to encourage any ex-partners to get tested. This infection can stay unrecognised for months, if not years.

In men, chlamydia can cause sterility. It can spread from the urethra to the testicles where a condition called epididymitis (inflammation of a duct in the testicles) can develop. Also in men, chlamydia can cause Reiter's syndrome -- a condition with symptoms including:


Urethritis

Lesions that form hard crusts on the penis

Ulcers in the mouth or throat

Conjunctivitis

Arthritis

I think it's always best to seek medical advice which I'm sure you have already, if you are on a look out for a General Practitioner to speak to try Dr Lily Wong who just recently came here from London, very friendly, fun and young and so not difficult to speak to her about this things.
