How does chlamydia affect fertility?
Chlamydia is the fastest growing sexually transmitted infection and the most common. It often goes unnoticed and therefore can be left untreated. It often does not produce any symptoms in its early stages. It is very easily treatable but if it is left untreated, it can lead to more serious health problems. These include pelvic inflammatory disease (infection of the uterus and fallopian tubes), which can lead to infertility problems. It can also lead to tubal pregnancies (ectopic) and chronic pelvic pain. A simple test is all that is required to identify men and women with this infection, followed by a short course of antibiotics.
