Chlamydia is a disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It's most commonly contracted during sexual contact. If Chlamydia is left untreated it may cause scarring of the fallopian tube, internal urethral infections, and can result in infertility. In pregnant women Chlamydia can cause premature labor and delivery. Chlamydia is a curable disease so it needs to be tested for anytime a check is needed.
It is not easy to tell if you are infected with chlamydia since symptoms are usually not apparent. But when they do occur, they are usually noticeable within 1-3 weeks of contact and can include the following :
Symptoms in Women
Abnormal vaginal discharge that may have an odor
Bleeding between periods
Painful periods
Abdominal pain with fever
Pain when having sex
Itching or burning in or around the vagina
Pain when urinating
Symptoms in Man
Small amounts of clear or cloudy discharge from the tip of the penis
Painful urination
Burning and itching around the opening of the penis
Pain and swelling around the testicles
Risk factors that can lead to the contraction of chlamydia include: multiple sex partners, having sex with a high risk partner (someone that has had multiple sex partners), and having unprotected sexual contact. Proper use of a condom when engaging in sexual contact can greatly reduce the chance of you contracting chlamydia. Chlamydia can also be spread by having oral sex with an infected partner. Talk with your partner about STD’s before starting a sexual relationship with them. If you or your partner have never been tested for STD’s and have engaged in any risky behaviors, it is recommended that you both get tested prior to engaging in any sexual activity. If you are not having symptoms it is not a safe assumption that you are not infected with an STD. Getting tested is the only way to know if you are disease free. If you are experiencing any symptoms avoid any sexual contact until you have been tested.
The test for chlamydia is simple. Most people can have the test carried out on a urine sample. Some people have a swab test (a small cotton bud). The swab is used to gently wipe the area where you might have chlamydia, to collect some cells. The cells are then tested for infection. The only way to find out if you have chlamydia is to get tested. You can get tested whether or not you have symptoms.

Rapid Chlamydia Test
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
