Yes, you may suffer from chlamydia infection after total hysterectomy because of unhygienic relations. Uterus is removed in hysterectomy but you still have lower parts, which may be infected with chlamydia. But no need to worry because chlamydia is easy to treat with medicines even with single dose medicine. But you should maintain good hygiene to prevent that because prevention is always better than cure.
