Chlamydia Treatment

Chlamydia Treatment | Confidential STI Treatment | Allied Pharmacies

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK. It is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis and is usually spread through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex.

The infection often has no noticeable symptoms, which means many people may not realise they have it. However, if left untreated, chlamydia can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and chronic pain.

At Allied Pharmacies, we provide confidential consultations and treatment advice for chlamydia. Our trained pharmacists can assess your situation and provide guidance on appropriate treatment following diagnosis.

What is Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection that can affect both men and women. It spreads through contact with infected genital fluids during sexual activity.

Because the infection frequently causes no symptoms, many people may unknowingly pass it to sexual partners. In fact, more than half of infected men and up to 70% of infected women may have no symptoms.

For this reason, regular testing is recommended if you are sexually active with new or multiple partners.

Symptoms of Chlamydia

Many people with chlamydia do not experience symptoms, but when symptoms occur they may include:

In Women:

• Unusual vaginal discharge
• Pain when urinating
• Lower abdominal pain
• Bleeding between periods or after sex

In Men:

• Discharge from the penis
• Pain when urinating
• Testicular pain or swelling

If you experience symptoms of an STI, you should seek medical advice or testing as soon as possible.
