A comprehensive review on prevalence and its adverse outcome of Chlamydia trachomatis on female genital tract

One of the most prevalent bacterial infections acquired through sexual contact is Chlamydia trachomatis. The age group of 16-19 years old (young sexually active individuals) is where females are most susceptible to contracting this virus. Most of the time they are asymptomatic, but if they are not treated, they might have serious side effects including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Chylamdia can be diagnosed using a variety of diagnostic methods; however, recent groundbreaking research using NAAT has made the diagnosis and treatment of the condition two times simpler. Key words such as ‘chlamydia,’ ‘pelvic inflammatory disease’ ‘cervicitis,’ ‘sexually transmitted infection,’ ‘vaginal discharge’ were used in a systematic search of the electronic databases PubMed, Embase, LitCovid, MedRxiv, BioRxiv, Google Scholar, EBSCO MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Scopus to find studies published between January 2009 and December 2023. Overall, this review helps to clarify the effects of Chylamdia on the female reproductive system, which in turn helps to clarify some of the problems and basic care associated with it. In general, the review's goal is to shield the public from serious health problems and make them more equipped to deal with them in case they acquire them.
