Chlamydia, while relatively benign in its initial stages, can lead to severe health complications if left untreated. These complications include infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pain, and even arthritis. Early detection is crucial, as many infected individuals may not exhibit any symptoms. That’s why we emphasise the significance of routine sexual health check-ups, regardless of symptom presence.
Prevention is a key aspect of maintaining your sexual health. Understanding how chlamydia spreads and taking appropriate precautions can significantly reduce your risk of infection. Our clinic offers a range of services beyond chlamydia testing, including insights into other STIs, such as gonorrhoea, HIV, syphilis, and genital warts. By equipping yourself with knowledge, you can make informed choices to protect your wellbeing.
Our chlamydia testing process is designed to be quick, efficient, and discreet. We understand the sensitive nature of such tests and ensure complete confidentiality. Our experienced professionals will guide you through the process, answering any questions or concerns you may have. You can trust that your privacy is our utmost priority throughout the testing journey.
To ensure accurate results, it is recommended to undergo chlamydia testing at least 14 days after your last known exposure. This timeframe accounts for the potential incubation period of the infection. If you experience symptoms associated with chlamydia, it’s advisable to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced professionals sooner for prompt evaluation and guidance.
Chlamydia is curable with antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
After finishing treatment, follow-up blood tests are recommended to confirm the disease has been cured.
Some common temporary side effects in the first 24 hours include headache, muscle aches, and fever. Allergic reactions are rare but can be treated if they occur.
It is crucial to avoid all sexual contact until at least 2 weeks after completing treatment, and best to wait until tests show the infection is cured. This prevents spreading the infection to partners.
