What does chlamydia look like?

FAQ

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is typically diagnosed through laboratory tests rather than visual inspection. Therefore, it does not have a distinct appearance that can be observed with the naked eye.

In women, chlamydia can cause inflammation of the cervix, which may result in abnormal discharge or bleeding. Men with chlamydia may experience discharge from the penis or pain during urination. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, and some people with chlamydia may not experience any noticeable symptoms.

It is important to get tested if you think you may have been exposed to chlamydia or other sexually transmitted infections, even if you do not have any symptoms, as untreated infections can lead to serious health problems.
