Chlamydia can cause prostatitis in men, which can impede erectile function. Safe sex and regular checkups with your doctor can help minimize your risk of such infections.
Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease that targets both men and women, can lead to erectile dysfunction in men infected with the STD.
Caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium, the STD is often asymptomatic in both men and women, making it difficult to detect. In men, the chlamydia infection can eventually lead to chronic prostatitis, a painful condition that can make it difficult or even impossible for a man to get and keep an erection.
In women, chlamydia, if untreated, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). And PID increases a woman’s chance of developing ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterus), infertility, and chronic pelvic pain.
And both men and women who have chlamydia face a higher risk of contracting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which can lead to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) and increased vulnerability to opportunistic infections.
A Very Common Infection
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chlamydia is one of the most prevalent STDs in the United States. In fact, over the past quarter-century, it has been the most widely reported STD in this country. The CDC estimates that 2.6 million Americans become infected with chlamydia every year.
As previously noted, chlamydia in men frequently leads to prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate gland. Once the chlamydia bacterium enters the male (or female) genital tract, it can quickly spread to nearby organs. In men, the infection first targets the urethra, the narrow passageway that carries urine from the bladder and semen from the prostate gland. As the infection spreads along the urethra, it eventually reaches the prostate, leading to prostatitis.
Once it has become infected with the chlamydia bacterium, the prostate becomes inflamed and somewhat swollen, which in turn impedes blood flow to the penis. And without robust blood flow to the penis, erection becomes difficult, if not impossible.
What to Look For
Although chlamydia infection is difficult to detect, particularly in its earliest stages, it does eventually lead to certain symptoms. Unfortunately, these symptoms may sometimes be dismissed as evidence of other problems. It’s essential that you consult your doctor if you experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- burning sensation during urination
- discharge from the penis
- pain or swelling in the testicles
If the doctor confirms chlamydia as the cause of these symptoms, the infection can be successfully treated with an antibiotic. However, if left untreated, the infection will continue to spread and cause problems, not the least of which is ED.
If chlamydia is diagnosed and the doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics, it’s vitally important that you take all of the drugs that have been ordered. For men, these antibiotics should clear up not only the primary chlamydia infection but also a secondary infection with prostatitis that can lead to ED.
The Best Defense
The best safeguard against chlamydia is safe sex, which includes the use of condoms and dental dams when having sex. Depending upon the candor with which you can discuss such matters with sexual partners, a clean bill of health after a recent STD checkup might further reduce the chances of exposure to chlamydia and other STDs.

ED caused by insufficient blood flow to the penis can usually be overcome with the use of Viagra or another of the oral ED drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors.
