What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a common type of sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It can be spread through vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex, or particularly unprotected sex.
Typically it can affect both men and women but women are generally more prone to Chlamydia infection. It affects their intimate reproductive organs including the rectum, cervix, or throat. In men, the bacteria affects the urethra (urinal passage inside the penis), rectum, and throat.
Chlamydia is surely treatable and does not spread through casual contacts like hugging, shaking hands, or kissing. But if left untreated it can lead to serious health issues. To detect the presence of the bacteria in your body, you must get tested for Chlamydia.
