It is a bacterial infection <\/strong>and is caused by a microorganism called Chlamydia trachomatis. It affects the cervix (in women), urethra (in men), and rectum and throat (in both men and women).<\/p>\n Chlamydia is more common in young people and women. Unprotected sex without a condom or sex with multiple partners increases a person\u2019s risk of getting chlamydia. Condoms reduce risk but do not completely protect against chlamydia.<\/strong> It is possible to get the infection from a male sex partner even if he does not cum (ejaculate).<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer same-day chlamydia treatment<\/strong> for men and women.<\/p>\n We also perform comprehensive STD testing<\/a><\/strong> for other infections. We offer confidential appointments. Our prices are affordable with or without insurance. Call\/text today: 1-646-663-4125 <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>or <\/span>make an appointment<\/span><\/a> online. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, chlamydia is an STD (sexually transmitted disease<\/strong>)<\/a>. It is transmitted from person to person through oral, anal, and vaginal sex. Chlamydia can spread to the eye through a hand that has touched infected secretions. The bacteria can also pass from mother to baby during childbirth. Chlamydia does not spread through deep kissing<\/strong> or contact with linen, utensils, toilet seats, or clothes. The infection also cannot spread through the use of swimming pools or hot tubs.<\/p>\n In many men and women, chlamydia does not cause any symptoms. A person may feel healthy, not know they have the infection, but still spread it to their sex partners.<\/strong><\/p>\n Symptoms may not appear until several weeks after exposure (link<\/a>). Chlamydia symptoms in men<\/a><\/strong> are typically somewhat different from chlamydia symptoms in women<\/a>. Chlamydia often has similar symptoms as a gonorrhea infection<\/a>. Chlamydia can coexist with gonorrhea infection.<\/p>\n Infection in the rectum can lead to discharge, pain, and bleeding in both men and women. Urethritis symptoms<\/a> are common in both men and women and chlamydia. Men may develop symptoms of prostatitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n If chlamydia is not treated, it can cause a number of serious health complications (link<\/a>). In women, untreated chlamydia can spread to the reproductive tract (fallopian tubes and uterus) and cause pelvic inflammatory disease<\/strong> (PID) with an increased risk of infertility<\/strong> and ectopic pregnancy<\/strong>. Recurrent chlamydial infections put a woman\u2019s reproductive health at serious risk. If the infection spreads to the eye, it can lead to redness and swelling (pink eye-like symptoms). In pregnant women, chlamydia can lead to premature birth and transmission of the infection to the infant during delivery. If a baby gets chlamydia from the mother, it can lead to eye and lung infections.<\/p>\n In men, chlamydia usually does not cause serious complications. In rare cases, epididymitis<\/strong> (fever, testicular and scrotal pain) and infertility may occur from untreated chlamydia. Both men and women can get arthritis in the joints<\/strong> as a reaction to the infection.<\/p>\n Untreated STDs including chlamydia increase the risk of getting or giving HIV\/AIDS<\/a><\/strong>. Do not ignore symptoms of possible sexually transmitted infections.<\/p>\n Schedule an appointment for same-day testing and treatment<\/a><\/strong> at New York Urology Specialists today for effective STD treatment.<\/p>\n Chlamydia is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection that can be cured with antibiotic treatment.<\/strong> How long does chlamydia treatment take? Doctors prescribe either a single dose of antibiotics or a 7-day course. Remember, antibiotics cannot repair any permanent damage<\/strong> to organs from prolonged infection. Also, antibiotic treatment and cure do not protect against future re-infection.<\/strong> It is possible to get re-infected by having unprotected sex with an infected partner.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not uncommon to get a repeat chlamydia infection. To prevent passing chlamydia back and forth between sex partners, it is essential that both are tested and treated at the same time. It\u2019s a good idea to avoid sex until the infection clears (wait one week after single-dose antibiotic treatment or after the last dose of longer treatment). A repeat test of cure<\/strong> may be recommended about three months after treatment.<\/p>\n Top urologists at New York Urology Specialists offer evidence-based effective treatment for chlamydia and other STIs. Our offices are conveniently located for residents of Brooklyn and other boroughs of New York City.<\/p>\n There are reliable laboratory tests that can confirm a diagnosis of chlamydia. Talk to top urologists at our easily accessible offices today about same-day, confidential testing for chlamydia<\/strong> and other STDs<\/a>. The test is usually performed on a urine sample, but some men may need a urethral swab and some women may need a vaginal swab (in most instances, a urine test is sufficient and causes less discomfort).<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we use the most advanced FDA-certified technologies<\/strong> for reliable STD in men and women. RNA\/DNA testing is the most reliable. Cultures are less sensitive and prone to false negatives (the infection is present but does not show up on the test). Older tests such as chlamydia FDA testing<\/a><\/strong>, etc., are no longer used. Patients have access to test results on an online portal<\/strong> within a week of testing.<\/p>\n Men and women who are infected with gonorrhea are also at higher risk of getting an infection with gonorrhea, syphilis<\/a>, HIV, HPV, and herpes<\/a>. The HPV vaccination<\/a> is recommended to all men and women under age 45, which can be administered at New York Urology Specialists.<\/p>\n Routine STD testing at least annually<\/strong> is recommended for all sexually active individuals. More frequent chlamydia testing may be needed in high-risk groups such as:<\/p>\n Chlamydia treatment is not 100 percent effective but cure rates are approximately 98 percent<\/strong>. This means azithromycin and doxycycline (antibiotics used to treat chlamydia) work very well in the vast majority of people. If you don\u2019t get treated for chlamydia, it can lead to a number of serious health complications, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in an abnormal location outside of the uterus), and increased risk of HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n Chlamydia treatment is pretty straightforward and you may only need a single oral dose of antibiotics<\/strong>. Don\u2019t ignore your symptoms.
