Can chlamydia go away on its own? What happens if left untreated?

No, if you’ve received a chlamydia diagnosis, it typically won’t go away on its own. In fact, left untreated, a chlamydia infection can lead to serious long-term health complications.

It’s very important to identify chlamydia as soon as possible if you become infected, otherwise you could put yourself at risk for negative side effects, as well as potentially infect other sexual partners, if you’re unaware that you’re currently carrying the infection.
