Chlamydia

What is chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is caused by getting a bacterial infection. It can affect both males and females and can cause serious problems if you don’t have it treated.

How do you get it?

Chlamydia is spread by having unprotected sex (not using a condom) with someone who already has the infection. Chlamydia can be spread through vaginal, anal and oral sex, by sharing sex toys or by sex play. Pregnant women can pass the infection to their babies during childbirth.

What are the symptoms?

Most people who have chlamydia don’t notice any symptoms. Chlamydia can stay in your body for years without you knowing.

If you do get symptoms, they could be:

For Females

  • Unusual vaginal discharge
  • Bleeding (spotting) between periods or after sex
  • Pain in the lower stomach
  • Pain during sex
  • Burning or pain when weeing or needing to wee more often

For Males

  • Soreness, redness or itching at the opening of the penis
  • Burning or pain when weeing
  • Unusual discharge from the penis or anus
  • Very occasionally there can be painful or swollen testicles

How do you treat it?

Chlamydia can only be treated with antibiotics.
