Why testing matters

• Watch for key symptoms

  Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can cause abnormal discharge, painful urination, pelvic pain in women, and testicular pain or swelling in men — but they often show no symptoms at all.

• Invisible but contagious

  Both infections can be spread through sexual activity even if no symptoms are present, putting partners at risk.

• Left untreated, long-term damage is possible

  Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and chronic pain in women, and lead to epididymitis and infertility in men.
