Biomarkers

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications over time, including infertility and chronic pelvic pain. This infection is also highly contagious, meaning that unknowingly having it can put your sexual partners at significant risk. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent these outcomes.

Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It can lead to symptoms such as genital irritation, discomfort, and abnormal discharge. In some cases, the infection may be asymptomatic, making regular testing important for early detection and treatment. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent complications and reduce the risk of transmission.

Mycoplasma

Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria known to cause respiratory and urogenital infections. These bacteria are unique due to their small size and lack of a rigid cell wall, which not only makes them difficult to detect but also resistant to certain antibiotics. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to manage infections caused by Mycoplasma.

HIV (I, II, P24 antigen)

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that targets and weakens the immune system. It is classified into two main types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The P24 antigen, a viral protein, is an important marker used to detect early infection during the acute phase. Testing for HIV types I and II, along with P24 antigen levels, ensures accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It can progress to a chronic condition, potentially leading to severe complications such as liver failure, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Early detection and treatment are critical to managing the disease and preventing long-term damage.

Mycoplasma Genitalium

Mycoplasma genitalium (commonly referred to as Mgen or M. genitalium) is a sexually transmitted bacterium that can affect individuals of all genders. It is a significant cause of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and is linked to various complications, including reproductive and urinary tract issues. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to manage the infection and prevent long-term health consequences.

Gonorrhea

Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can affect the genitals, rectum, and throat, often presenting with mild or no symptoms in the early stages. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious health complications, including infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent these outcomes and reduce transmission.

Gardnerella

Gardnerella is a bacterial species commonly associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition in which an imbalance in the vaginal flora occurs. This imbalance can lead to an overgrowth of certain bacteria, resulting in a disruption of the vaginal pH and potential symptoms such as unusual discharge and odor. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important to restore vaginal health and prevent complications.

Ureaplasma

Ureaplasma is a group of small bacteria typically found in the urogenital tract. While often present without causing symptoms, they can lead to infections, particularly in the urinary and reproductive systems. Ureaplasma infections are known to be resistant to many common antibiotics, making diagnosis and appropriate treatment crucial to prevent complications.

Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum. It typically begins with painless sores or ulcers at the site of infection, but if left untreated, it can progress through several stages and lead to severe complications, including damage to the heart, nervous system, and other organs. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are essential to prevent long-term health issues and transmission.

Herpes Simplex Virus I & II

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) consists of two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 primarily causes oral herpes, leading to cold sores around the mouth, while HSV-2 is most commonly associated with genital herpes, causing sores in the genital and anal areas. Both types are highly contagious and can be transmitted even when sores are not visible. Although there is no cure, antiviral treatments can help manage outbreaks and reduce transmission risk.

Information

Symptoms

Over 80% of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are asymptomatic, with chlamydia often showing no visible symptoms. This makes regular testing and timely treatment essential for early detection and prevention of complications.

Common symptoms of STIs may include:

Pain or burning during urination
Painful erections (in males)
Discomfort or pain in and around the vaginal area (in females)
Pain during sexual intercourse
Abnormal discharge from the genitals
Rashes in the genital or anal area
Strong or unusual vaginal odor
Unexplained lumps, bumps, or sores around the genital area
It is important to seek medical advice if any of these symptoms occur to prevent further complications and reduce transmission risk.

Additional Insight from Dr Sameer Nakedar, MBBS, MRCGP, PGCert

Chlamydia can often be passed between sexual partners unknowingly, as many individuals with the infection do not show symptoms. If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious health complications. In women, for example, it can progress to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), which may cause chronic pain and fertility issues. Pregnant women with untreated chlamydia may also transmit the infection to their baby, potentially leading to complications during delivery. Regular testing and early treatment are crucial to prevent these severe outcomes.

Additional Information

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications, including infertility and long-term reproductive issues. The good news is that chlamydia can be easily treated with antibiotics.

Getting Tested
If you think you might have chlamydia, it’s important to get tested as soon as possible. Testing is available at your local healthcare provider’s office, clinics, or Planned Parenthood health centers.

There are two main types of chlamydia tests:

Urine Test: A simple urine sample is tested for the presence of chlamydia bacteria.
Swab Test: A sample of discharge is collected from the vagina or penis and tested for the infection.
Both tests are quick, easy, and typically done in the privacy of your healthcare provider’s office. Results are usually available within a few days.

Treatment
If your test result is positive, don’t worry—chlamydia is easily treatable with antibiotics. Your doctor will prescribe a course of antibiotics (typically for 7-10 days), and it’s essential to complete the full course, even if you start feeling better before finishing the medication.

You should avoid sexual activity until you’ve completed the entire course of antibiotics to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

Why Testing Matters
Chlamydia is often asymptomatic, meaning many people don’t realize they have it. Regular testing is recommended, especially for sexually active individuals, as early detection and treatment can prevent serious health problems. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause permanent damage, including:

Infertility: In women, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility.
Complications in Newborns: If a pregnant woman is infected, the bacteria can be transmitted to the baby during childbirth, potentially leading to serious infections.
Other Health Issues: Untreated chlamydia can also cause complications such as arthritis.
Talking to Your Partners
If you’re diagnosed with chlamydia, it’s important to inform your current and past sexual partners so they can get tested and treated. Untreated infections can lead to further health problems and ongoing transmission.

Regular annual testing for chlamydia is advised for sexually active individuals, and it’s a simple, essential step in maintaining your sexual health.

Statistics and Information on Chlamydia

%

Of all Chlamydia cases are found in young adults

In the UK, approximately 60% of all chlamydia cases occur in young adults and teenagers, with the highest prevalence among those aged 15 to 25. This age group is particularly at risk due to factors such as increased sexual activity and limited awareness of safe sexual practices.

%

Of women do not display symptoms

Around 70% of women and 50% of men with chlamydia do not exhibit symptoms. Because of this, regular testing is crucial to detect the infection early and prevent its spread.

Experts Opinion

Chlamydia is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The optimal time for testing is typically 14 days after potential exposure to the infection. The good news is that if detected early, chlamydia is easily treatable with antibiotics, ensuring a full recovery with appropriate care.

FAQs

What happens if you test positive for chlamydia?

If you test positive for chlamydia, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. It’s important to complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Avoid sexual activity until both you and your partner have finished treatment to prevent reinfection.

Why should you get tested for chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can be easily cured with antibiotics. However, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications, such as infertility in women.

If you are sexually active, it’s important to get tested for chlamydia and other STIs regularly—ideally every year or more often if you have multiple partners.

If you experience symptoms like pain or burning during urination, or unusual discharge from the penis or vagina, see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested.

Where do I send my sample?

You will receive a prepaid return label to send your health test sample back to our lab for analysis. Clear instructions and return details will also be provided via email to guide you through the process.

What do I need to do before my test? i.e. fast, no drinking, etc

If fasting or limiting alcohol intake is required before your test, we will send personalized instructions to you via email once your order is confirmed. However, most tests can be taken without the need for fasting.

When will I get my results/how will I receive my results?

Results are typically processed within 2–3 working days. If your sample is sent over the weekend (which is not recommended), results will be available 2–3 days from the following Monday. Once your results and personalized report are ready, you will receive an email notification with instructions to log in to the Welzo online platform to view them.

How soon can you detect chlamydia?

Chlamydia can typically be detected within a week of exposure using most tests.

If you experience symptoms such as burning during urination or unusual discharge from the penis or vagina, it’s important to see a doctor and get tested right away.

How do tests detect chlamydia?

There are two main types of tests used to detect chlamydia: nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs).

NAATs are the most accurate and sensitive tests for chlamydia. They can be performed using urine samples or swabs from the urethra in men, or from the cervix, vagina, or rectum in women.

ELISAs are less sensitive and specific than NAATs but can also be done using urine samples.

What if my results show that I’m outside the normal range?

If your results fall outside the normal range and cause concern, it is important to contact your GP or call emergency services (111 or 999) immediately. Please note: If you are feeling unwell or have health concerns, seek medical attention without waiting for test results.
