Hello Doctors.  I heard that Chlamydiae and Gonorrhea can cause infertility in men, after how long do they cause infertility in men and do they cause infertility if the disease does not cause epidemititis?

Thanks for the responses but according to my research, if it causes epidemititis, it causes permanent damage to the part in the testicle where sperms go on to mature after being produced.  That damage is irreversible if if chlymedia is removed

infact if we refer ourself to researches,we know that chlamydia reduces sperms motility, cause about twice DNA break hence if it is removed from the system and since the sperm duck keeps on produces sperms ie renew it simply means while infected you stay infertile but if treat you stand a chance to become a father
