If you had chlamydia for a long period, you may have experienced complications of chlamydia such as pelvic inflammatory disease or epididymitis. Most people with chlamydia do not experience long-term complications. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

If you get chlamydia and gonorrhea during the course of six months, you should ensure you get treated, and get repeat testing two to three months after treatment to make sure you weren't reinfected. You should be tested for all other STDs. You should come up with a plan for reducing the risk of future STDs to protect your health and fertility.
