9. Complications
Chlamydia is usually only a mild disease, while many people will experience no symptoms whatsoever. If the condition is left untreated, however, then more serious complications can develop. Thus, it is always a good idea to get it checked out even if you are otherwise healthy.
If chlamydia is allowed to go untreated then the infection can spread and cause a condition known as pelvic inflammatory disease. An uncontrolled infection may even spread to the fallopian tubes and the uterus, potentially making the patient infertile for the rest of their life. Fortunately, treatment for chlamydia is straightforward so complications are usually avoided.
