Yes a woman can pass chlamydia onto a male sexual partner.
No chlamydia does not go away by itself if found on time - but if it is found then it can be treated with antibiotics and THEN it will go away
Chlamydia is more common among women (slightly) as it is easier to pass it from male to female than it is from female to male

Yes, chlamydia can be spread from female to male.
If the patient tests positive for chlamydia, it is a simple treatment that is cured with antibiotics...usually doxycycline or zithromax.
They say it is much less common in men because it is more easily spread from male to female than female to male.
It is very important to get treated as soon as you find out you have it because if left untreated it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which is basically when the infection spreads up the reproductive system into the uterus and fallopian tubes. They say this happens in 40% of the women infected with chlamydia! And all it takes is a simple antibiotic...there really is no reason to leave it untreated. Other complications in women can include tubal pregnancy, miscarraige, infertility, chronic pelvic pain and the list goes on. It can cause sterility in men as well. If you are tested positive, all of your partners need to be made aware so they can get antibiotics as well, otherwise you will just keep passing it back and forth to each other and others.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Causes
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection of the genitals and anus in men and women. This is a contagious disease. A bacterium chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia. Chlamydia is transferred from partner to partner by vaginal, oral, or anal sex. The bacterium is passed when the mucous membrane comes in contact with infected secretion. Oral chlamydia is also reported though it is less frequent than genital chlamydia. Any mucous membrane (membrane that does not have skin) can get infected with the bacteria if it comes in contact with the infected fluid. Young women and teenage girls are more prone to get chlamydia because their cervix is not fully matured. The chances of getting chlamydia increase if a person has multiple sexual partners. An infected mother can pass on chlamydia to her baby.

anyone can get chlamydia if they have sex with an infected person. Chlamydia is very easy to treat and will go away if treated. If left untreated it can cause you to be sterile. Chlamydia is common with both sexes

yes it can happen that way. a boy i know of 14 had sex with a 15 yr old girl. he caught chlamydia off her because she had slept around a lot. and no it will not go away if untreated, it can cause you to be infertile. go to your GUM clinic and they will give you a swab and you can do it yourself and they will send the results off to a lab. and you can get anti biotics. it is more common in women than men.

If you don't know how Chlamydia is spread you shouldn't be having sex!!!! Its classified as an STD.... in case you don't know, that stands for sexually transmitted disease!!! no, it wont go away on its own!!!! get yourself to a clinic for testing & treatment & dont forget to pick up some info pamphlets on other diseases on your way out the door!!!!! its more common in women by the way, but men get it and spread it also!!
