What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It can affect anyone who is sexually active and is easily passed on during vaginal, anal or oral sex
Is Chlamydia always noticeable? (Silent but Common)
Many people with chlamydia do not notice any symptoms, especially in the early stages, which means you can pass the infection to others without knowing.
When symptoms do occur, they may include:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina
- Bleeding after sex or between periods
- Lower abdominal pain
- Discomfort in the testicles
- Rectal pain or discharge after anal sex
How is Chlamydia tested and diagnosis?
Testing is quick and simple. The GU specialists use a swab or urine test to check for chlamydia. Because most infections are silent, testing is advised if you have had unprotected sex, a new partner, or symptoms.
Can Chlamydia be treated?
Chlamydia is easily treated and cured with antibiotics.
It’s important to:
- Take all medication as prescribed
- Avoid sexual activity until you and your partner(s) complete treatment
Inform recent partners so they can also get tested and treated.
Why treatment important?
If untreated, chlamydia can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and increased risk of other infections, including HIV.
How can I get tested or get confidential advice?
You can lower your risk by:
- Using condoms every time you have sex
- Limiting the number of sexual partners
