Best Answer

Chlamydia initially infects the urethra, cervix, anus, throat, and eyes. It can move higher into the reproductive tract, and in men can be found in the prostate, epididymis, and testes, and in women can be found in the uterus and fallopian tubes. If infection in a female continues to ascend, it can infect the pelvis causing widespread inflammation.
