Chlamydia: Symptoms, Testing & Treatment

What is Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK, caused by bacteria that can affect the genitals, anus, throat, and urinary tract in both men and women. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health issues, including infertility.

How Do You Catch Chlamydia?

Chlamydia spreads through unprotected sexual contact with an infected partner. This includes vaginal, oral, or anal sex. It cannot be passed through kissing, sharing towels, or toilet seats.

Protect your health — always use protection and get tested regularly.

Chlamydia Symptoms in Men & Women

Chlamydia is known as the “silent infection” because:

✅ Around 80% of women and 50% of men experience no symptoms.

However, when symptoms do occur, they may include:

In Women:

  • Burning or pain when urinating

  • Unusual vaginal discharge

  • Pain during sex

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Lower back pain

In Men:

  • Pain or burning sensation when urinating

  • Penile discharge (mucus-like)

  • Discomfort at the tip of the penis

  • Swollen or inflamed testicles

The only way to know for sure is to get tested.
