Untreated in men - urethral strictures and chronic infection of epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles. Prolonged infection leads to spread of infection to the testes causing orchitis. Sterility also possible outcome.

Untreated in women - leads to salpingitis & fallopian scars, PID, ectopic pregnancy, sterility, and chronic infection of anaerobic bacteria

In both men & women, if left untreated may lead to gonnococcal arthritis. Autoinnoculatoin can cause conjuctivitis
