Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis.Chlamydia is a very common STD which can damage female reproductive organs if left untreated. Although the signs and symptoms of Chlamydia are often mild or absent, serious, irreversible damage can be done internally and happen ‘silently’. There are Chlamydia tests available at most health clinics and walk in laboratories.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial STD in the United States. As scary as it may sound, even this is not a clear view of all those affected because so many people do not know they have Chlamydia.
Although this disease is usually considered ‘silent’, symptoms of Chlamydia can include:
In Men:
*Burning during urination
*Discharge from the penis
*Rectal pain or discharge
*Testicular pain and tenderness
*Symptoms found in men are similar to those found in individuals with Gonorrhea.

In Women:
*Salpingitis
*Painful intercourse
*Vaginal discharge
*Burning during urination
*If left untreated, permanent damage to internal organs can occur, especially reproductive organs.

All of these problems can be easily avoided if each sexually active person took charge of their health and the health of their loved ones and requested a Chlamydia test at their local laboratory. Fees associated with this test are nominal but the peace of mind of knowing you are STD free is priceless.
