![]() ![]() Untreated chlamydia can cause infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes with scar tissue. It is especially dangerous for women because it often leads to pelvic inflammatory disease, a major cause of infertility. About ChlamydiaĬhlamydia is the most widespread bacterial sexually transmitted disease today. Chlamydia can cause a serious pneumonia in newborn babies. Infected babies can have serious eye infections. There often are no symptoms when these parts of the body are infected with gonorrhea or chlamydia.īabies can be infected with either disease during birth. Men and women can become infected with either disease in the mouth and rectum if those body parts are involved during sex. If left untreated, both diseases can cause urinary problems, sterility or infections in the joints. There may be a whitish-yellow or cloudy discharge – or “drip” from the penis. Men may have pain or burning when they urinate. If left untreated, both diseases may cause infertility, premature birth or tubal pregnancies (where the baby grows in another part of the body outside of the womb). This can cause lower abdominal pain during intercourse, unusual menstrual pain, irregular periods, loss of weight and a general feeling of illness. Both diseases can infect a woman’s fallopian tubes and ovaries. If you’ve just found out that you have gonorrhea or chlamydia, you may be trying to figure out what to do next.
