Ivy, you posted on the wrong forum. This forum is about Hepatitis. You have a STD, sexually transmitted disease. Please look under Forums, and re-post in the correct place.

"
Outlook
Treated with antibiotics, chlamydial infections can be cured 95% of the time.

Complications if not treated:
10-40% of women will develop pelvic inflammatory disease;
5% of women with pelvic inflammatory disease will develop a form of liver disease (perihepatitis).
Women may develop chronic pelvic pain and become sterile due to blockage of the Fallopian tubes that allow the egg to be transported from the ovary to the women's womb.
More common in men, some may develop sexually acquired reactive arthritis or Reiter syndrome.
Men may experience painful swelling of the testicles."
