What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the world. It is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis and can affect both men and women. Often, it does not present obvious symptoms, which means many people unknowingly transmit it. Without treatment, it can lead to serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and pregnancy problems.
Detecting chlamydia early is crucial to preventing complications and stopping its spread. At Centrolab, we offer fast and reliable screening tests with complete confidentiality.
Chlamydia Symptoms and When to Get Tested
Many people infected with chlamydia do not show symptoms, but when they do appear, they may include:
- Pain or burning during urination.
- Abnormal discharge in both men and women.
- Bleeding between periods in women.
- Pain during sexual intercourse.
- Pain or swelling in the testicles.
When should I get tested?
- If you’ve had unprotected sex.
- If you show any of the above symptoms.
- If your partner has been diagnosed with chlamydia or another STI.
- As part of preventive sexual health checkups.
Types of Chlamydia Tests Available
At Centrolab, we offer two highly accurate methods for detecting chlamydia:
🔬 PCR Test (Urine or Genital Secretion)
This is the most advanced and reliable method for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis. It is performed using a urine sample or a swab from the affected area (cervix, urethra, or rectum). Its high sensitivity allows detection even in recent infections.
🩸 Serological Test (Antibody Detection in Blood)
This test analyzes the presence of IgG, IgM, or total antibodies against the bacteria. It is used in specific cases, although it is not the primary method for diagnosis.
