Why Choose Chlamydia Testing in Nottingham?

Chlamydia often presents with no symptoms, which is why regular testing is essential, particularly if:

  • You’ve recently had unprotected sexual contact
  • You’re changing partners
  • You’re under 25 and sexually active (1 in 10 young women are infected)
  • You’re experiencing symptoms such as unusual discharge or pain when urinating
  • Your sexual partner has been diagnosed with an STI

Understanding Chlamydia

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterial infection that can affect both men and women. It’s easily transmitted through:

  • Unprotected vaginal intercourse
  • Unprotected anal intercourse
  • Unprotected oral sex
  • Close genital contact with an infected partner

Since the mid-1990s, new cases have steadily increased, making Chlamydia the most prevalent STI in Britain. In 2009 alone, almost 216,000 people were diagnosed in UK GUM clinics, with countless others undiagnosed due to the absence of symptoms.

Who’s at Risk?

  • Women under 25 who are sexually active have a 1 in 10 chance of infection
  • Men aged 20-30 represent the highest risk group for male infection
  • Anyone with multiple partners or new sexual contacts
  • Pregnant women can transmit the infection to their babies during childbirth

Chlamydia Testing Process at Our Nottingham Clinic

Our testing procedure is simple, quick and non-invasive:

  • Initial consultation – Confidential discussion with our healthcare professional
  • Sample collection – Either a urine sample (for those without symptoms) or a swab test (for those with symptoms)
  • Laboratory analysis – Testing performed using highly accurate diagnostic methods
  • Results within 24 hours – Fast turnaround to minimise anxiety
  • Treatment if positive – Immediate prescription of appropriate antibiotics
  • Advice and support – Guidance on preventing future infections and notifying partners

Chlamydia Symptoms: What to Look For

While many people show no symptoms (particularly women), some may experience:

  • Pain or burning when urinating
  • Unusual discharge from the vagina, penis or rectum
  • Pain in the lower abdomen
  • Pain during sexual intercourse (women)
  • Testicular pain or swelling (men)
  • Bleeding between periods or after sex (women)

These symptoms typically appear 7-21 days after infection, though they may go unnoticed or be attributed to other causes.

Effective Chlamydia Treatment

If diagnosed with Chlamydia, our doctors will prescribe a course of antibiotics with an 80-90% cure rate. Treatment is straightforward and usually involves:

  • A single dose or short course of antibiotics
  • Clear instructions on completing treatment
  • Advice on abstaining from sexual activity during treatment
  • Partner notification guidance
  • Recommendation for retesting after 3 months

Complications of Untreated Chlamydia

Without proper treatment, Chlamydia can lead to serious health issues:

In women:

  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
  • Infertility
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Chronic pelvic pain

In men:

  • Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis)
  • Reactive arthritis
  • Potential fertility problems

In newborns:

  • Eye infections
