Chlamydia
is the most commonly reported infectious disease in the U.S…
The
CDC estimates that 2.8 million new cases of chlamydia are contracted each year.
Most go undiagnosed. Chlamydia infects the cervix, making adolescent girls most
susceptible since their cervix is changing during puberty.
The
majority of women with chlamydia have no symptoms. Left untreated, chlamydia
can cause PID, ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Fortunately, if detected
early, chlamydia can be easily cured with antibiotics since it is a bacterial
infection.
