Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmitted disease. Both men and women can get infected by this. It can cause permanent damage to the reproductive system of women, which can make it difficult or impossible to get pregnant later. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy, which means that pregnancy occurs outside the womb.
Dr Ram Prakash, one of the best Embryologist in Delhi along with his team will help against this disease.
One can get chlamydia by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with the person who has chlamydia. One can get infected with chlamydia if their sex partner does not ejaculate. In pregnancy, women with chlamydia can give the infection to their baby during childbirth.
Ways to reduce the risk of getting chlamydia
By avoiding vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

- If you are in a long-term relationship with a partner who has been tested negative for chlamydia
- Use condoms every time you are being intimate with your partner.
Who is at risk for chlamydia?
- Sexually active people can get infected through vaginal, anal, or oral sex without a condom in case their partner is suffering from chlamydia.
- Since chlamydia can spread through oral and anal sex, gay and bisexual men are also at risk.
- If you are sexually active, have an honest and open talk with your healthcare provider and ask them if there is any need for you to get tested for chlamydia or other STDs.
Does chlamydia affect babies in pregnancy?
- If a pregnant woman has chlamydia,then there are chances that she can give the infection to the baby during delivery. This can cause an eye infection or pneumonia in your baby. A person suffering from Chlamydia is more likely to deliver their baby early.
