Chlamydia
$99.00 / testChlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It can affect both men and women and may cause a range of symptoms. However, it's important to note that many people with chlamydia may not experience any symptoms at all. When symptoms do occur, they can vary between individuals and may include:
For Women:
- Abnormal vaginal discharge.
- Pain or burning sensation during urination.
- Painful menstrual periods.
- Lower abdominal pain or pelvic pain.
- Pain or bleeding during or after sexual intercourse.
- Rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding if the infection is present in the rectal area (from anal sex or other contact).
- Itching or irritation around the genital area.
- Swelling or tenderness in the genital area.
For Men:
- Clear or white discharge from the penis.
- Pain or burning sensation during urination.
- Pain, discomfort, or swelling in the testicles.
- Rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding if the infection is present in the rectal area (from anal sex or other contact).
- Itching or irritation around the genital area.
It's important to emphasize that many people infected with chlamydia do not experience any noticeable symptoms, which is why routine testing for sexually active individuals is recommended, especially for those engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors.
Chlamydia can lead to serious complications if left untreated, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can result in fertility problems and chronic pelvic pain. In men, untreated chlamydia can lead to epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis, a tube that carries sperm.
If you suspect you have chlamydia or have been exposed to it, it's crucial to get tested and, if necessary, seek medical treatment. Chlamydia is typically treated with antibiotics, and your healthcare provider can guide you through the appropriate steps.
