What is chlamydia?

It is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia Trachomatis. You can get chlamydia during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected person. Both men and women can have it.

Chlamydia does not usually cause symptoms . But when they do occur, they can appear as a burning sensation when urinating or an abnormal discharge from the vagina or penis.

If it is not diagnosed or treated in time, it can progress and cause serious health problems in the short and long term.

Some of the complications that it can cause are:

  • Pelvic inflammatory disease: One of the most serious complications in women is pelvic inflammatory disease. This disease can be the result of an uncared for chlamydia infection. It affects the womb and fallopian tubes and can cause infertility, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb), or chronic abdominal pain. Symptoms can be lower abdominal pain, low back pain, fever, vaginal bleeding or leakage between menstrual cycles, pain during intercourse, and increased vaginal discharge.
  • Epididymitis: In principle, complications of chlamydial infection in men are rare. One of these complications is epididymitis, which can be the result of an uncared for chlamydial infection that affects the testicles. Epididymitis can cause pain and inflammation of the scrotal bag as a sign of inflammation of a part of the testicle called the epididymis. It is usually very painful and when it affects both testicles it can cause infertility in men.
  • Other complications: In some cases, genital chlamydial infection can cause arthritis (joint pain and inflammation), which may be accompanied by a skin rash and inflammation of the eyes and urethra (Reiter’s syndrome)..

Treatment consists of antibiotics. The proper use of latex condoms (condoms) greatly reduces the risk of contracting or spreading the infection although it does not eliminate the risk entirely. Experts recommend that women under the age of 25 who are sexually active get tested for chlamydia every year.
