Chlamydia most commonly affects the cervix in women and the urethra in men. Although it may not cause any symptoms at first, it can eventually cause inflammation, pain, vaginal or penile discharge, and a burning sensation during sex or urination. In women, it can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease and lead to problems with pregnancy and childbirth. Chlamydia can be transmitted to a baby and cause the baby’s eyes to be infected during the birthing process, resulting in a condition known as ophthalmia neonatorum. Ophthalmia neonatorum is a type of conjunctivitis—also called pink eye, when the clear membrane protecting the outer layer of the eye becomes infected or inflamed—that’s specifically caused by either chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted from a mother to a child during birth. Chlamydia can increase the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. It can also cause eye infections or even pneumonia in newborns. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics during pregnancy. The medication newborns are given at birth to prevent gonorrhea infections of the eye also prevents chlamydia eye infections.
