Chlamydia: Why “No Symptoms” Doesn’t Mean “No Risk

How to get rid of chlamydia treatment and symptoms

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), yet it’s also one of the sneakiest. Here’s what you need to know:

The Silent Spread

• 70% of women and 50% of men experience no symptoms.

• When symptoms do appear (1-3 weeks post-exposure), they’re easy to miss:

  • Women: Painful urination, unusual discharge, pelvic pain, or irregular bleeding.

  • Men: Burning during urination, testicular pain, or penile discharge.

Why Testing of Chlamydia Matters

Left untreated, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, or chronic pain. The good news? It’s curable with antibiotics—if caught early.

Next Steps

1. Get tested annually if sexually active.

2. Use protection (condoms/dental dams).

3. Encourage partners to test.

Your health isn’t a guessing game. Schedule a test today—it’s quick, confidential, and could save your future.
