Chlamydia is a bacterium that is sexually transmitted (6 million new cases per year in the US). Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) can result from untreated Chlamydia infections. PID is associated with what common form of infertility in women resulting from: missing or malformed uterus, production of anti-sperm antibodies, blocked fallopian tubes, or no oocytes?
Joanna Q.
In men, untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by bacteria may cause inflammation of the epididymides, a condition known as epididymitis. In women, untreated STIs may cause inflammation and scarring within the Fallopian tubes, a condition known as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Both conditions can cause infertility.
