Why testing matters

• Watch for the signs

  In women, Chlamydia may cause abnormal vaginal discharge, burning during urination, pain during sex, and lower abdominal pain. In men, it may cause penile discharge, painful urination, and testicular pain or swelling.

• No symptoms doesn’t mean no risk

  Most people with Chlamydia have no symptoms at all, but the infection can still be passed to others through sexual activity.

• Untreated Chlamydia can have serious consequences

  In women, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. In men, it can result in epididymitis and reduced fertility.
