Chlamydia complications among men are uncommon, but may include pain, fever, and, in rare cases, sterility. They are preventable if diagnosed and treated early, but have the potential to create a very serious public health issue if ignored. So don’t ignore it any longer – get yourself tested and always use a condom. Chlamydia complications among men are rare.
What To Do
Screening for chlamydia in incarcerated adolescents has been shown to be a cost-effective strategy for preventing adverse health consequences. Syphilis prevalence in incarcerated adolescents is relatively low. Screening for chlamydia is critical because 75% of women and 50% of men with chlamydia have no symptoms, or symptoms that are so mild they do not seek care. If left untreated in women, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and potentially fatal tubal pregnancy.
Untreated chlamydia leads to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. This is an infection of the reproductive organs of women. Untreated chlamydia leads to Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of a woman’s reproductive organs that can be caused by sexually transmitted bacteria such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.
This infection can lead to serious consequences including infertility. Pelvic inflammatory disease is the single most frequent serious infection encountered by women. The disease afflicts more than 1 million women each year and generates annual health care costs of approximately 4.2 billion dollars. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an acute infection in the organs of the pelvis. It can affect the uterus, fallopian tubes and/or ovaries.
Untreated chlamydial infections can also cause inflammation of the bladder. In women who have anal sex with a partner who has chlamydia, the bacteria can cause proctitis (an infection of the lining of the rectum).
What Not To Do
Persons being treated for Chlamydia should not have sexual intercourse for seven days after single dose therapy (azrithromycin) or until completion of all seven days of antibiotics (doxycycline). Patients can be re-infected if their sex partners are not treated. Persons with a chlamydia infection have an increased chance of getting other infections such as gonorrhea or HIV.
