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

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)

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
