Chlamydia is known as a silent sexually transmitted disease. Around 75% of infected women and at least half of infected men show no particular symptoms. A persom can get Chlamydia from vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person, and the more sexual partners you have increases your risk of infection. It's important to see your doctor to get tested regularly and treated when necessary. Women are often reinfected with Chlamydia, and reinfections may lead to serious reproductive health problems, such as infertility. If you are not aware that you have Chlamydia both men and women can infect their sexual partner(s) and in the case of pregnant women, their unborn child.
Chlamydia is often not diagnosed or treated until problems show up. If you think you may have it, you and your sex partner(s) should be tested by a doctor immediately. Chlamydia is easy to treat, but it is important to be tested to protect your reproductive health.
Some people can be infected but have no symptoms - another reason to get tested. If you do have Chlamydia symptoms may include:
* Abnormal vaginal discharge
* Burning when passing urine
* Lower abdominal pain
* Lower back pain
* Nausea
* Fever
* Pain during sex
* Bleeding between periods
Men with Chlamydia may have:
* Discharge from the penis
* Burning when passing urine
* Burning and itching around the opening of the penis
* Pain and swelling in the testicles
The Chlamydia bacteria can cause throat infections if you have oral sex with an infected partner.
You should be tested for Chlamydia once a year if you are 25 or younger and have sex, or are over 25 and:
· have any Chlamydia symptoms
· have a new sex partner
· have more than one sex partner
· have sex with someone who has other sex partners
· do not use condoms during sex in a relationship that is not mutually monogamous, meaning you or your partner has sex with other people
· are pregnant
Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics and can be cured as long as the course is finished. You should not have sex until treatment is complete. Your sexual partner(s) should be treated as well, to keep you and them from getting Chlamydia again. |
