What else can I help you with?
Could you have chlamydia if there is no bacteria in your urine?
Yes. A culture to detect bacteria in the urine does not check for chlamydia. The urine test for chlamydia is not a standard urinalysis or urine culture, but is a specific test to detect chlamydia's genetic material. Ask for the test specifically if you are concerned.
Can you get chlamydia if you're not sexually active?
You can get chlamydia from oral, anal, or vaginal sex; from sharing sex toys; or from genital-genital contact. In addition, a baby can get chlamydia during birth to a woman who is infected. If none of these applies to you, you won't get chlamydia.
You both have chlamydia but you are only each others first?
Chlamydia is spread by oral, anal, and vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; and birth to an infected woman. Even if you and your partner haven't had sex before, you could have been infected with chlamydia from one of these other activities.
How do chlamydia and yeast infection get misdiagnosed?
It's hard to imagine who chlamydia and yeast infection could be confused. Yeast and chlamydia are very different organisms. They may occur together, leading yeast to be diagnosed clinically or via microscopic examination of vaginal discharge, and chlamydia later being reported positive from specific chlamydia testing. Sometimes patients mistake this chain of events to mean that the yeast infection diagnosis was incorrect.
Can you get chlamydia if neither partner has had another partner?
It's possible to get chlamydia through genital-genital contact without intercourse. The problem with your question is the word "virgin." That word doesn't describe risk factors for STDs. That is, "virgin" doesn't say anything about whether you've exchanged potentially infectious fluids or had skin to skin contact with another person.It's possible to get STDs including chlamydia, HPV, HSV, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomonas by having genital-genital contact. Whatever your partners history, both partners should get tested prior to exchanging fluids.You can't get chlamydia if your partner and you were virgins.
Can you get chlamydia from a person who had it before?
No, you can not catch chlamydia from someone that is not infected. You can only get chlamydia by having intimate contact with someone who has chlamydia. If you and your partner don't have it, you can't catch it from each other.
Will your baby get chlamydia?
No, your baby will not catch chlamydia. If you believe you could be infected, and you are pregnant, see your doctor soon.
Could chlamydia cause swollen glands if left untreated for years?
Chlamydia does not cause swollen glands.
Can you have a miscarriage while having chlamydia?
Miscarriage is a common problem in pregnancy. Chlamydia does not appear to increase the risk of miscarriage. However, it could happen with or without chlamydia infection.
How does chlamydia affect hemorrhoids?
Chlamydia does not typically affect hemorrhoids. Infection with anal chlamydia, which can occur due to anal sex but also due to transfer of chlamydia bacteria from the vagina in women who do not have anal sex, could cause anal irritation.
You found out you were pregnant 3 yrs ago and then found you had chlamydia you were treated but you have been trying for a baby for 1 yr could you still have it?
Yes. You should abstain from vaginal sex or use contraception if you don't want to get pregnant. Untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause scarring which can impair fertility, but a history of gonorrhea and/or chlamydia doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. If you've been trying for a year, consider talking with your gynecological health care provider about appropriate testing given your history.
Can chlamydia be mistaken for another problem?
When chlamydia is diagnosed by laboratory testing, rather than a clinical diagnosis, it is not likely to be a mistaken diagnosis. Mistakes occur when health care providers don't think about chlamydia when seeing someone with painful urination. It's not unusual for a patient to be treated for a UTI without testing, get only partial relief, and then later find out she has chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis.
