Attention MEN: your sperm is at RISK

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article2658732.ece

Chlamydia, the sexually transmitted infection (STI) carried by one in ten sexually-active young British adults can make men infertile by damaging the quality of their sperm, new research has shown.

While the condition, which usually passes undetected, has long been known to threaten female fertility, scientists from Spain and Mexico have now established that it presents similar risks for men.

Men with chlamydia have three times the normal number of sperm with genetic damage that can impair their ability to father children, the study found.

Antibiotic treatment can reverse the effect, and preliminary results indicate that it may dramatically enhance pregnancy rates when couples are trying for a baby. But the discovery suggests that the prevalence of the disease may be contributing to infertility across an entire generation of young adults.

... and make it moot. :shrug:


:evilgrin:

I had no idea! How high is the rate in the U.S.?

:evilgrin:

...what a ripoff....I could have just had sex with a British hooker.....

It took me like 2 hours to fill up that bottle they wanted the sample in....

like that bicycle that's sitting in the hallway

Bring it on!

After two kids, got fixed

Don't forget, the disease you don't care about can still hurt other people.

spreading my DNA was never in my Genes and it gets wrapped up in the event of fornication.

Thought this was another Larry Craig post. :crazy:
