Visão Geral

Clamídia is a common STI that you catch through unprotected sex. Often, you might not notice any symptoms, but if you do, it can cause pain when you pee or unusual discharge.

In the early stages of chlamydia there are often no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can include unusual discharge (vaginal or penile), pain or burning during peeing, or pain in the lower abdomen.

Chlamydia is tested with a simple urine sample or a swab from the affected area, and if you have it, it is usually treated with a short course of antibiotics.

If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious health problems in both men and women such as doença inflamatória pélvica (DIP), infertility, epididimo-orquite, and chronic pelvic pain.
