00:09:02.120market uh with all the women that have incurable diseases like hiv and herpes we are going to
00:09:08.420continue this conversation in today's show on gonorrhea and chlamydia. While both of these are
00:09:13.900bacterial infections, there are ways to treat each one that are different, long-term side effects if
00:09:19.240left untreated for too long. So chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD in the United States
00:09:25.840with over 1.6 million cases reported in 2023 alone. The CDC estimates that there are 2.9
00:09:35.380million cases of chlamydia each year in the united states if you include the cases that are
00:09:40.960unreported the most common group of women to catch chlamydia from you guys want to know
00:09:47.200shockingly and i found this surprising 18 to 24 but maybe by like you know by 25 they're like
00:09:55.320it's time to wrap it up have you guys seen a difference let me know in the comments between
00:09:59.300women under 25 if they say not to wrap it up and over. According to Grok, so four to 6% of women
00:10:08.160under 35 have an active chlamydia infection. So this does not include women that have caught it
00:10:14.080and got it treated. This is actively have one. So chlamydia is asymptomatic to 70% of women,
00:10:21.360allowing it to persist undetected. And what happens, chlamydia leaves some women infertile.
00:10:27.840So pelvic inflammatory disease can develop within weeks of catching chlamydia to a month to a month of an untreated infection.
00:10:37.760Once pelvic inflammatory disease occurs, scarring begins within weeks to months.
00:10:42.600A single episode of pelvic inflammatory disease results in infertility in 8 to 12 percent of cases, with the risk increasing to 20 to 40 percent after multiple episodes.
00:10:53.780Severe tube damage may take about one to two years of untreated or recurrent infections
