Transmission may also occur through close genital contact with an infected individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though easily treatable, it poses a threat due to its \u2018silent\u2019 nature. 90 percent of the infected women may not show any symptoms and the infection that is so easily treatable may turn into PID, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, over a period of several months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Risk factors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Exposure to an infected person<\/li><li>Being sexually active at a younger age (less than 20 years) poses a higher risk<\/li><li>An infected mother can spread the infection to the baby during pregnancy or childbirth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following symptoms may appear after a few weeks of contracting the infection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Abnormal, foul-smelling, or thick vaginal discharge<\/li><li>Inter-menstrual bleeding<\/li><li>Burning during urination<\/li><li>Pain in the abdomen<\/li><li>Pain during sex<\/li><li>Rectal pain (in case of anal sex)<\/li><li>Fever<\/li><li>Blood in urine<\/li><li>Urge to urinate often with only slight dribbling of urine<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diagnosis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chlamydia can be diagnosed easily by means of a urine test or a swab test of the vagina. <a href=\"https:\/\/drsafehands.com\/checkout\/urine-test-for-chlamydia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Chlamydia Blood tests<\/strong><\/a> are also done to look for anti-chlamydia antibodies.
