What is Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. Like gonorrhoea, it often has no symptoms, which means many people don’t know they have it.

What parts of the body can it infect?

It can infect:

• Genitals (penis and vagina)
• Cervix (in women)
• Rectum (anus)
• Throat (less common, from oral sex)
• Eyes (rare)

How do you catch chlamydia?

You can catch chlamydia through unprotected sexual contact with someone who has it, including:

• Vaginal sex
• Anal sex
• Oral sex
• Sharing sex toys (if not cleaned or covered)

It spreads through sexual fluids, not through casual contact.

You cannot catch it from:

• Hugging
• Kissing
• Toilets
• Towels or sharing cutlery

Symptoms

Most people don’t notice any symptoms, especially women.

Possible symptoms:

In men:

• White/cloudy discharge from the penis
• Burning when urinating
• Pain or swelling in the testicles (less common)

In women:

• Unusual vaginal discharge
• Pain when urinating
• Bleeding after sex or between periods
• Lower tummy pain

Rectal infection:

• Pain, discharge, bleeding

Throat infection:

• Usually no symptoms

Is it treatable?

Yes. Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics.

If untreated, it can cause:

• Pelvic inflammatory disease (in women)
• Fertility problems
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy

How to prevent it:

• Use condoms during sex
• Get tested regularly (especially if you have new partners)
• Make sure partners are treated too
• Avoid sex until treatment is complete

An appointment with the GP costs £120.00 where a full history and exam will take place – this also included providing you with a result and any further advice or treatment.

We offer consultation and testing for chlamydia 6 days per week for males and females

Chlamydia is also included in our combined STI multiple tests.

Chlamydia can cause an infection in a woman’s cervix and bladder. It is known to cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Scar tissue can develop within the tubes and affect the eggs passing for a successful pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy risk is greater when chlamydia is present or left untreated.

If chlamydia is present when a woman is pregnant it can lead to miscarriage, and cause infections and pneumonia to the baby.

Men have reduced fertility when chlamydia is present, and it can affect the bladder and testes. 

Incubation, results, and re-testing

The incubation is 14 days.

Results from all samples take two working days from when the sample is received in the laboratory.

Regular retesting is advised if you continue to be at risk. A repeat test is recommended with every partner change.

What to do if the test is positive

Chlamydia is curable and can be treated with a course of antibiotics.  You should not have sex until the treatment has finished, and the symptoms have gone away.
