Chlamydia: Complications of Untreated Infections
Overview
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria, primarily spread through sexual contact. If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to severe complications. Knowing the symptoms and seeking early treatment are essential to prevent these outcomes.
Early Symptoms of Chlamydia
Symptoms may appear about two weeks after exposure and can include:
- Painful intercourse (in women)
- Vaginal discharge
- Penile discharge
- Painful urination
These symptoms are often mild and can easily be overlooked. Early-stage chlamydia can be effectively treated with antibiotics, usually within one to two weeks. It's crucial to consult a doctor at the first sign of symptoms, who will conduct a swab test and prescribe antibiotics if needed.
Complications in Women
Untreated chlamydia can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), an infection affecting the reproductive organs. This can cause inflammation of the ovaries, cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes, potentially leading to infertility. PID may develop without noticeable symptoms, although severe pelvic pain can occur.
Complications in Men
Men may experience painful swelling in the testicles due to inflammation. Chlamydia can also affect the prostate gland, leading to further complications.
Eye Infections
If the eyes come into contact with infected secretions, they may become infected. Seek medical advice immediately if you suspect an eye infection.
