a. chlamydia
b. gonorrhea
c. syphilis
d. none of the above
Chlamydia is a bacterial STI. In women, untreated chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. While men can also have complications from chlamydia like epididymitis, the range and severity of complications in women (due to the impact on reproductive organs like fallopian tubes) are more extensive compared to men. Gonorrhea and syphilis also have significant complications in both genders, but chlamydia is particularly known for more severe complications in women in terms of reproductive - related issues.
