The most common STI in the country, as well as the one which many people do not know enough about, is chlamydia.
Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK today, with many people not even knowing that they have it. Nicolette Heaton-Harris explains in Sexually Transmitted Infections, You can be infected by chlamydia [clamidia / clamydia] through vaginal, oral or anal sex. If you are sexually active in any way, there is a risk that you could get infected with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia).
Symptoms include: a burning sensation when urinating, pain in the lower back and abdomen and discharge from the penis or vagina.
If chlamydia [clamidia /clamydia] goes undiagnosed for a very long time, then serious problems affecting future fertility and health can present themselves.
Females who have contracted chlamydia present themselves with an increased risk of also contracting HIV if exposed to it.
Being tested for chlamydia usually involves either a swab test or urine sample, and can be carried out by your GP, who will test for chlamydia infection. Your doctor will also provide you with any STD facts to help prevent you contracting other sexually transmitted infections in the future.
If you think you have contracted chlamydia, which is sometimes wrongly spelt as clamidia or clamydia, you can go to your doctor for a simple swab test or urine sample which will be sent away and tested for infection with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia). Your doctor can also provide you with STD facts to help you prevent any other infections contracted through sexual activity.
In order to prevent yourself from catching chlamydia, it is essential that you use a condom, and that you become aware of all the information available to you, so that if you do contract it, you will know the course of action to take. - 15275
