First of all you have to give us time to answer. We are people who volunteer our time here and the people who may have the answer to your question may not be online when you ask.

With that being said, it all depends on what kind of STD you are talking about. Can you please be more specific?

You only guess? You need to go to the doctor and make sure, these things do not clear up on their own.

As for whether you are able to have a baby, you also need to see a doctor to ensure that the STD did not cause any damage to your reproductive system.

There are some STDs that if not treated can lead to permanent brain damage. So, what STD did you have and were you treated for it?

Again, it depends on exactly which STD it was.

Bacterial Vaginosis?


What happens if bacterial vaginosis is left untreated?
If left untreated, bacterial vaginosis may increase a woman's risk of pelvic inflammatory
Disease (PID). PID often has no symptoms, but when symptoms are experienced, they may
Include lower belly pain; cramping; burning during urination; pain or bleeding during or
After intercourse; unusual vaginal discharge; nausea and vomiting; and fever. If left untreated
PID can make it difficult or impossible to get pregnant. It can also lead to “tubal” (ectopic)
Pregnancies and long-term pelvic pain. Bacterial vaginosis may also increase a person's
Chance of getting or spreading HIV if left untreated.
If you have symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, get examined and treated immediately to
Avoid any complications.

They can't always affect your chances it depends on what STD you have and whether there's a chance you could pass it on to your unborn child. I think you should speak with your doctor.

If it was a bacterial vaginal it could be treated but if that person wants to have a baby it would affect the baby and that person wouldn't get to have the baby vaginal it would have to be c-section

There is no such thing as bacterial vaginal (to my knowledge), but there is bacterial vaginosis (as stated above).

Where did you get your information from regarding the c-section part of your post?
