Chlamydia can usually be treated by oral antibiotics. A patient will be given a 7-day antibiotic known as Doxycycline or a single dose of Azithromycin. This is the most common treatment for Chlamydia. A person who is diagnosed with chlamydia should restrain from any sexual activity for 7 days. This should allow the infection to clear up in a week.

In women, if this infection is left untreated, it can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes.  This can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which can also lead to infertility and pelvic pain. It's rare that men have health problems from Chlamydia. In some cases, chlamydia can infect the epididymis, which is a tube that carries the sperm.
