Understanding Chlamydia

Transmission and Symptoms

Chlamydia is one of the most common bacterial STIs. Many people may not notice symptoms, which is why testing can be important after potential exposure.

Unprotected sex

Chlamydia can spread through vaginal, anal or oral sexual contact without protection.

Multiple or new partners

Having new or multiple sexual partners can increase the chance of exposure to an STI.

No symptoms

Chlamydia can be present without obvious symptoms, so someone may have an infection without knowing it.

130M

New cases each year

Reported globally.

Painful urination

Burning or pain while urinating can occur with chlamydia.

Mother-to-baby transmission

Chlamydia can be passed from an infected mother to a baby during childbirth.

Unusual discharge

Abnormal discharge, white, yellow or green, from the genitals may be a sign of infection.

Pelvic or abdominal pain

Lower abdominal or pelvic pain may occur, particularly when the infection has affected the reproductive tract.

Rectal symptoms

Rectal infection may cause pain, discharge or bleeding.
