Chlamydia is a highly common sexually transmitted infection that’s caused due to bacteria spread. People with this infection typically don’t show any outward symptoms during the early stages. According to reports, 40-90% of people with chlamydia show no symptoms at all. However, this STI can trigger several health complications in the long term.
If chlamydia infects the rectum, it can lead to pain, discharge, and bleeding.
The absence of symptoms makes it challenging to realize when you have them. People with chlamydia who are asymptomatic can still transfer the disease to others. However, it should be noted that some do experience symptoms, which include:
If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms or if your partner has this disease, it’s best to seek advice from a medical professional. It’s recommended for pregnant women to get tested during their prenatal visit.
If you are sexually active, being in a monogamous relationship with a partner who’s tested can reduce your chance. Another important thing to remember is to use condoms correctly while having sex.
If chlamydia is affecting your well-being or your relationships, it must be treated. Treatment aims to improve the quality of your life.
