Answer 2

Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria chlamydia trachomatis.
About half of all men and three-quarters of all women who have Chlamydia have no symptoms and do not know that they are infected. However, it can cause vaginal bleeding and discharge, abdominal pain, fever and inflammation of the cervix in women.
And in men, it can cause a watery or milky discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles and a burning feeling while urinating. The long term complications can be severe, especially for women where it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Between 20% and 50% of children born to women with chlamydia will be infected.
Chlamydia is the leading cause of neonatal conjunctivitis, an eye infection in babies that can cause blindness.
However, it is easy to treat with antibiotics.
Please see the webpages for more details on Chlamydia.
