Frequently Asked Questions
Can chlamydia affect my fertility?
Yes. Untreated chlamydia is a leading cause of preventable infertility. In women, it can cause PID and damage the fallopian tubes. In men, it can cause epididymitis. The good news: early detection and intervention prevents these complications.
I have no symptoms - could I still have chlamydia?
Absolutely. Around 70% of women and 50% of men with chlamydia have no symptoms at all. This is why regular testing is so important, especially if you're under 25 or have new partners.
How long does chlamydia take to cure?
Chlamydia is easily cured with antibiotics. Contact your GP or sexual health clinic for treatment.
