If you’re experiencing unusual vaginal discharge, discomfort when urinating, pelvic pain, or bleeding between periods, it’s completely normal to worry about your health. In the UK, chlamydia and gonorrhoea are two of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can present with these symptoms. And the only way to know for sure if you have one of these infections is with a test.
However, up to 70% of women with chlamydia and 50% with gonorrhoea may not experience any noticeable symptoms (NHS chlamydia | NHS gonorrhoea).
If undiagnosed and untreated, these STIs can cause complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), fertility problems and chronic pelvic pain. Early diagnosis makes treatment simple and highly effective.
