What Is Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat. Many people show no symptoms, so routine testing is crucial for early detection. If untreated, it can cause complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, or urethritis.

Symptoms of Chlamydia

You may experience one or more of the following:

  • Unusual genital or rectal discharge
  • Pain or burning when passing urine
  • Genital itching or irritation
  • Pain during intercourse
  • In men: swelling or pain in the testicles

If you have any of these or are unsure, it’s wise to test even if symptoms are mild.

Chlamydia Testing: How It Works

We use nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT), one of the most accurate methods for diagnosing chlamydia. Testing is simple:

  • Urine sample (men or women)
  • Swab from infected sites (vagina, cervix, throat, rectum)

Most test results are available within 48 hours. Any positive result can be followed by a consultation where we prescribe treatment and advise on partner notification.

Who Should Get Tested?

We recommend Chlamydia screening for:

  • Sexually active individuals under 25 (routine annual tests)
  • Anyone with symptoms of an STI
  • People with new or multiple sexual partners
  • Pregnant women (to protect maternal/fetal health)
  • Men who have sex with men (MSM), especially with higher-risk behaviour

Even without symptoms, regular testing is a key part of responsible sexual health.

Interpreting Your Results & Next Steps

  • Positive result: You can book a consultation with our GP and you’ll be prescribed antibiotics and advised to avoid sexual activity during treatment. We’ll also guide you on partner notification and retesting.
  • Negative result: If symptoms persist, we’ll explore other possible infections or causes.

We generally recommend a retest after three months, especially if sexual behaviours remain the same. This helps catch reinfection early.

Preventing Chlamydia & Other STIs

Prevention strategies include:

  • Using condoms consistently and correctly
  • Regular STI testing, especially with new partners
  • Maintaining open communication about sexual health
  • Avoiding douching or excessive internal cleaning (which can alter normal microbial balance)
