Best Answer

Untreated chlamydia is the leading cause of female infertility, which is very costly to treat (e.g. with in vitro fertilization). In addition, it can cost chronic pelvic pain, which has no definitive treatment.

Can a female have chlamydia without knowing?

The majority of woman who have chlamydia (70-80 % according to the UK NHS) will experience no symptoms and so will not know they have the infection. The US CDC estimates that 1 in 15 sexually active females aged 14-19 are infected. If you are in any doubt at all, you should go and get tested as the long term consequences of untreated chlamydia can be serious. For more information see the related links to the US CDC and UK NHS.
