Chlamydia is incredibly common. In 2018 alone, the CDC reported over 1.5 million chlamydial infections in the U.S. One of the big problems with chlamydia is that it can be difficult to identify. So can chlamydia be misdiagnosed? Absolutely. Here, we’ll explain everything you need to know about chlamydia, and what you should do if
Many people think that STDs are conspicuous diseases. In other words, they expect STDs to produce a lot of obvious symptoms –– and for those symptoms to appear quickly. Yet, the reality is that it’s impossible to tell if you have an STD immediately after contraction. In fact, lots of people who have STDs never
Chlamydia is a common STD and is one of the most common notifiable diseases in the United States. Many people with chlamydia don’t develop symptoms, but those who do may experience genital discharge and pain during urination. Left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious and permanent damage to the reproductive system. The infection can spread into
Pain in the urethra is about as unpleasant a condition as one could imagine. Unfortunately, several common STDs are associated with urethral irritation and urethritis. Urethritis is the condition in which the urethra becomes inflamed or irritated. Millions of Americans contract urethritis every year –– often as a result of STDs. As such, today we’re
STDs can affect nearly every part of the human body. Syphilis rashes may appear on the soles of the feet. And STDs like chlamydia can even cause eye infections. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, there are several STDs that can cause abdominal pain. What’s the STD that causes cramps and bloating most often? Typically, the two STDs
Discomfort or itching following sexual intercourse is a common issue that many men experience. The reality is that there are a number of conditions that can contribute to penis itching after sex. Some are relatively minor and can be addressed quickly, while others require medical attention. Today, we’ll examine seven different causes of penis itching
It’s easy to assume that STDs only affect the genital region. However, certain STDs can affect many different areas of the body. And it’s possible to experience STDs symptoms in the eyes, mouth, on the soles of your feet, the palms of your hands, and within your abdomen. If left untreated, it’s even possible for
Many people, both men and women, will experience pain during and/or after sex at some point. However, feeling discomfort after sex isn’t something you should ignore. Rather, itching, burning, and soreness during or after intercourse typically indicates some sort of problem. So while irritation after sex isn’t uncommon, it’s not normal either. Here, we’ll explain
Unexplained pain anywhere on the body is a concerning and upsetting occurrence. But consistent discomfort on, in, or around the testicles is just about unbearable. It’s tough to think about –– let alone discuss. However, testicular pain could indicate a major health problem and even the presence of an STD. As such, if you’ve experienced
While most symptoms of STDs are subtle, easy-to-overlook, or mild, discharge emanating from the penis is sure to attract attention. Indeed, unexpected penile discharge is enough to alarm anyone. However, male discharge can occur for a number of reasons. And its appearance, consistency, and smell also may also vary on a case-by-case basis. Is male
Just about everyone experiences a pain in the back now and again. Indeed, studies suggest that back pain accounts for 264 million lost work days every year. Though most of the time back pain is a fleeting nuisance, it can occasionally be the result of something more sinister. Indeed, certain STDs and conditions caused by
A single STD on its own is a gruesome enough prospect. But what about contracting multiple STDs? Can you have STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea at the same time? The answer is yes.

Itching is one of the most common STD symptoms for both men and women. Indeed, itching can manifest in a number of areas on the body and result from a variety of STDs. So, to address the titular question: does chlamydia make you itch? The short answer is yes, it can. However, just because you’ve
STDs affect men and women differently. One STD that tends to impact the lives of women more than men is chlamydia. It’s worth noting here that women under 25 are most “at risk” for contracting chlamydia statistically, but any sexually active person can get chlamydia. Part of the reason why chlamydia is so prevalent is
STDs are such an odious prospect for some people that they’d rather ignore their existence than get tested –– even when they desperately need to. Alternatively, others believe that because infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia are relatively common, they’re not dangerous. What’s more, some factions seem to think that their immune system will “heal” STDs
If STDs were coffee shops, chlamydia would be Starbucks. In other words, chlamydia is very common.

Uncertainty about your own health and wellness is one of the worst feelings anyone can experience. And unfortunately, STDs are often at the center of that uncertainty. Indeed, unlike other diseases, STDs tend to be shrouded in mystery and the dangers of STDs are often misrepresented. This is particularly bad news for individuals who mistake
If you’ve ever known someone who contracted an STD, chances are it was chlamydia. That’s because chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the USA today.
