Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide. It is caused by the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis and can affect both men and women. Chlamydia is primarily transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. It’s important to note that chlamydia can be spread even if the infected individual does not exhibit any symptoms, making regular testing and safe sexual practices crucial in preventing its transmission.

Symptoms

Chlamydia is often called the “silent” infection because many people infected with it do not experience any noticeable symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may take several weeks to develop and can vary between men and women. Common symptoms include:

Symptoms of chlamydia in women

Pain during sexual intercourse
Vaginal discharge
A burning sensation during urination
Pain in the lower abdomen
Inflammation of the cervix
Spotting between periods

Symptoms of chlamydia in men

A burning sensation during urination
Discharge from the penis (yellow or green)
Pain in the lower abdomen
Pain in the testicles
