00:00.640 --> 00:02.370
complications from ACLU media

00:02.370 --> 00:04.370
infections are more common and more

00:04.370 --> 00:07.190
serious in women than in men . Doctor

00:07.190 --> 00:09.301
Patel . Can you tell us about some of

00:09.301 --> 00:11.079
these potential complications ?

00:11.079 --> 00:13.550
Absolutely . Doctor Music . In women ,

00:13.550 --> 00:15.606
An untreated chlamydia infection can

00:15.606 --> 00:17.550
spread to the uterus and fallopian

00:17.550 --> 00:19.550
tubes , causing a serious condition

00:19.550 --> 00:21.772
called pelvic inflammatory disease . Or

00:21.772 --> 00:23.910
P . I . D . P . I . D . Can cause

00:23.910 --> 00:25.966
permanent damage to the reproductive

00:25.966 --> 00:28.021
system , which can lead to long term

00:28.021 --> 00:30.132
pelvic pain , infertility and ectopic

00:30.132 --> 00:32.810
pregnancy . In some cases P . I . D .

00:32.810 --> 00:34.588
Caused by chlamydia can lead to

00:34.588 --> 00:36.699
inflammation of the liver capsule , a

00:36.699 --> 00:38.921
condition called para hepatitis or fitz

00:38.921 --> 00:41.032
Hugh Curtis syndrome . Pregnant women

00:41.032 --> 00:42.921
with untreated chlamydia are more

00:42.921 --> 00:45.210
likely to go into labor too early . In

00:45.210 --> 00:47.377
addition , the infection can be spread

00:47.377 --> 00:49.488
to the baby during childbirth , which

00:49.488 --> 00:51.210
can lead to eye infections and

00:51.210 --> 00:53.266
pneumonia , although men don't often

00:53.266 --> 00:55.432
have complications from chlamydia , an

00:55.432 --> 00:57.654
infection that spreads to the epidemics

00:57.654 --> 00:59.821
can cause testicular pain fever and in

00:59.821 --> 01:02.390
rare cases infertility . Both men and

01:02.390 --> 01:04.557
women can develop reactive arthritis ,

01:04.557 --> 01:06.612
a type of arthritis that occurs as a

01:06.612 --> 01:08.612
reaction to infection in the body .

01:08.640 --> 01:10.920
Untreated chlamydia can also increase

01:10.920 --> 01:13.760
the risk for HIV in both men and women .

01:14.140 --> 01:14.560
