Customer question:
How common is chlamydia? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Because many people infected with chlamydia do not show specific symptoms, it is difficult to estimate the frequency of infections accurately. It is generally believed that young people, especially between the ages of 15 and 24, are most susceptible to chlamydia infection. Studies show that the incidence of chlamydia among this population group is relatively high.
It is essential to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases regularly, especially if you engage in risky sexual behavior such as unprotected sex or having sex with multiple partners. Early detection and treatment of chlamydia are crucial to prevent possible complications, such as pelvic floor inflammation, infertility, and other health problems.
