also known as Chlamydia trachomatis in Urine sediment by Organism specific culture
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the U.S., with over 2.86 million cases every year. Because it often shows no symptoms at all, many people spread it unknowingly, making regular testing essential for protecting your health and your partners. Our chlamydia test uses a simple urine sample, making it fast, comfortable, and highly accurate. A urine-based test is the most reliable method for detecting chlamydia in the urogenital tract, which is the most common site of infection. Please note that this test only detects chlamydia in this area and will not identify infections in the throat or rectum. Why This Test Matters: Chlamydia typically doesn’t show symptoms until complications appear. Testing is the only way to know for sure, and early detection prevents long-term health risks. Possible Symptoms of Chlamydia: Most people don’t notice symptoms, but when they do appear, it may be weeks or even months after exposure. In Men, symptoms may include: Unusual discharge from the penis Pain or burning during urination Testicular pain or swelling Pain, bleeding, or discharge from the anus In Women, symptoms may include: Unusual vaginal discharge Pain or burning during urination Pain or bleeding during/after sex Bleeding between periods or unusually heavy periods Anal pain, bleeding, or discharge If you’re experiencing any of these signs, or if you’ve had unprotected sex, testing now is the safest choice. Who Is at Higher Risk? Anyone who has unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex can become infected. Pregnant individuals should also get tested, as chlamydia can be passed to the newborn during delivery, leading to serious health issues or premature birth. Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Test: When treated early, chlamydia is easily cured. But when left untreated, it increases the risk of contracting or transmitting HIV and can lead to other serious health problems: In Women: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Chronic pelvic pain Infertility Pregnancy complications In Men: Infection of the testicles or prostate Urethral inflammation Infertility (in rare cases) Yes, It's Curable! The good news: chlamydia is curable and one of the most easily treated STDs.
