- Explain the menstrual cycle and spermatogenesis.
- Compare the signs and symptoms in males and females if chlamydia was contracted and left untreated. Furthermore, what is the long-term prognosis in both male and females?
Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle is a monthly series of changes in hormone levels and reproductive structures in females, typically lasting about 28 days, although it can range from 21 to 35 days. The cycle is divided into several phases:

- Shedding of the uterine lining occurs, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
- Hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone) are low.
- Follicular Phase (Days 1-13):
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the ovaries to develop follicles…
