Question: what happens if you have chlamydia for months?
Answer: Long-Term Risks of Untreated Infection In women, untreated infection can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This happens in 10 percent to 15 percent women with untreated chlamydia. PID can lead to internal abscesses (pus-filled “pockets” that are hard to cure) and long-lasting pelvic pain.
