Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Chlamydia affects many people who are under 25 and had had sex. The infection affects the cervix, urethra, rectum, throats and eyes. Symptoms usually appear 1 to 3 weeks after the infection is caught.

Most women who catch Chlamydia will not be affected too badly with mild symptoms or no symptoms. Women may have lower abdominal pain, bleeding after sex and/or between periods, unusual discharge from the vagina, or pain when passing urine. If the infection is not treated, pelvic inflammatory disease may happen which can affect the female’s ability to have babies.

Many men will feel symptoms, such as discharge from the penis and pain when passing urine. If ignored, the infection can cause pain in the testicles and Reiter’s syndrome (arthritis).

Antibiotics are used to treat Chlamydia.
