A new research has disclosed that Chlamydia screening program does not decrease the complication subjected to infertility. The study analyzed the after-effects of annual screening for Chlamydia and concluded that it showed no positive results. The study was conducted on 2500 students.

A set of researchers from St. George's, University of London, has advised the women to go through frequent testing if they go around with a new partner. They want the women to beware of sexually transmitted diseases.

Chlamydia is a threat that has the potential to lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancies where the embryo does not implant itself in the womb but rather in the Fallopian tube.

In the people who were found with Chlamydia, the treatment just reduces the danger of the pelvic disease by mere 80%.

The findings of the study are available in print in the British Medical Journal and concluded that women would have contracted the infection during a period of 12 months post screening. The study says that an annual screening would not help, but frequent check will, in squashing the disease.

Study leader Professor Pippa Oakeshott said, “Testing needed to be more accessible to young people, with kits being given out in colleges and youth clubs”.
