About Chlamydia Infections

Chlamydia infection is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. An internal medicine specialist diagnoses and manages this condition, which often presents with no symptoms, making screening crucial. Diagnosis typically involves a simple urine test or a swab from the cervix, urethra, throat, or rectum. Treatment is straightforward and highly effective with a prescribed course of oral antibiotics. Left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility and chronic pelvic pain, and epididymitis in men. Early detection and treatment by an internal medicine doctor are key to preventing long-term health issues and stopping transmission.
