Chlamydia DNA (Urine)

CHLAMYDIA DNA, URINE

Description:
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium that can damage a woman’s reproductive organs (infertility) if left untreated. It’s a serious disease that often has minimal or no symptoms. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea have similar symptoms such as discharge and painful urination. Because they are alike, both tests are available in some lab’s Comprehensive STD Panels.

Why Do I Need It?:
If you’ve had unprotected sex (vaginal, anal or oral) with someone that has Chlamydia, you should get tested. Symptoms are often mild and unnoticeable. It isn’t called the “silent STD” for nothing.
