Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems if left untreated. Here are some of the risks and complications of untreated chlamydia:

• Increased risk of other STIs: If chlamydia is left untreated, it can increase your risk of getting other sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea or HIV.

• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): In women, untreated chlamydia can cause PID, which can lead to chronic pain and infertility. PID can also cause scar tissue that blocks fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb), and long-term pelvic/abdominal pain.

• Testicular swelling: In men, untreated chlamydia can cause pain and swelling in one or both testicles, and in rare cases, lead to infertility.

• Reinfection: Even after successful treatment, you can still be reinfected with chlamydia if you have unprotected sex with someone who has the infection.

Its important to note that chlamydia often has no symptoms, but regular testing can help detect and treat the infection early. If you suspect you may have chlamydia, its important to get tested and treated promptly to avoid these serious health problems.
