Chlamydia & Gonorrhea test – woman

Symptoms in women

Many women do not experience any symptoms with Chlamydia or Gonorrhea, which makes regular testing all the more important. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

• Painful urination, often described as a burning sensation
• Increased or unusually smelling vaginal discharge
• Painful intercourse
• Bleeding between periods or after intercourse
• Anal pain, itching or discharge with an anal infection
• Sore throat with an oral infection

Symptoms in Men

Although this test is specific to women, it is important to know that men can often be asymptomatic. Symptoms that may occur in men include:

• Pain or burning when urinating
• Penile discharge that is unusual or raised
• Painful or swollen testicles, sometimes only on one side
• Anal pain, itching or bleeding with an anal infection
• Sore throat with an oral infection

If left untreated, infections such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can lead to more serious reproductive and general health problems, such as pelvic inflammatory disease in women or infertility in both sexes.
