In general, trachoma does not heal on its own if left untreated and can even lead to complications such as urinary tract infections. Trachoma is an eye disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection, which does not heal on its own if left untreated and is prone to scarring, follicular papillomatosis, entropion, impingement, corneal clouding and trachomatous chronic dacryocystitis, and can even lead to urinary tract infections and other complications. In general, trachoma needs to be treated with antibiotics for more than 1 month under the supervision of a medical professional. In addition, because trachoma is contagious, trachoma patients must be careful not to mix towels, washbasins and other household items with family members to avoid cross-infection, and to pay attention to eye hygiene and keep the eyes clean.
