I went to a gyno to keep my friend’s company and get myself checked because I have never been to a gyno and I was diagnosed with Chlamydia. I didn’t even feel any symptoms or problems. What could have happened if I didn’t find out I had it?

This is exactly why chlamidia is called “the silent” disease. Most often women don’t even experience any symptoms. The treatment is easy but if not treated, Chlamydia could lead to more serious reproductive and other health problems. The infection could go into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. This disease could cause permanent damage to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding tissues and could lead to infertility. Women who have Chlamydia are at more risk of contracting HIV when encountered.
