Full Description
Chlamydia is the 2nd and Gonorrhea is the 4th most common new sexually transmitted infection in U.S. Both are curable when detected early.
An untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea infection can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system. Infections can lead to serious complications, infertility, life-threatening pregnancy, and long-term pelvic/abdominal pain. Both men and women can develop painful rectal and oral (throat) infections.
ABOUT CHLAMYDIA:
Most people who have chlamydia don’t know it since the infection often has no symptoms (as often as 70% of the time or more).
- Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD in the United States.
- Sexually active women under 25 years of age should test every year.
- Easy to cure, chlamydia can cause life-long complications if left untreated.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON GONORRHEA SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
- discharge from the penis or vagina
- burning feeling during urination
- more frequent urination
- in women, abdominal and/or pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse
- in men, testicular pain, tenderness and swelling
- anal itching and rectal pain, discharge and/or bleeding
- sore throat and difficulty swallowing
ABOUT GONORRHEA:
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can infect both men and women. It can cause infections in the genital area, rectum, and throat. Like chlamydia, it is especially common among teens and young adults, but can infect individuals at any age. Many men and more than half of women have no symptoms when infected.
