- Infertility in women and men (inflammation of fallopian tubes, testes, or prostate).
- Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy in women.
- Complications during pregnancy: premature birth, low birth weight, transmission of infection to the newborn.
- Spread of infection to joints (arthritis), heart, and other organs if left untreated.
- Increased susceptibility to other infections, including HIV.
How to recognize: burning during urination, discharge, lower abdominal pain, genital discomfort; however, symptoms are often absent.
When to get tested: when changing sexual partners, planning a pregnancy, experiencing any symptoms, or suspecting contact with an infected person.
