Chlamydia and gonorrhea are two of the most common sexually transmitted infections \u2014 and two of the most treatable. The catch is that they often cause no symptoms, so many people pass them on without ever knowing. Here&#8217;s what to watch for, how testing works, and why both are good news once caught.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are They?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are bacterial infections spread through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. Because they&#8217;re bacterial, they can be <strong>completely cured<\/strong> with the right antibiotics \u2014 which is exactly why finding them early is such a relief rather than a worry.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms to Watch For<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When symptoms do appear, they may include:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina (gonorrhea discharge is often yellow or green)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pain or burning when urinating<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pelvic or lower abdominal pain in women<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Pain or swelling in the testicles in men<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Bleeding between periods or after sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But remember: most people have <em>no<\/em> symptoms at all. A test is the only way to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Shouldn&#8217;t Ignore Them<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left untreated, these infections can climb to the reproductive organs. In women they&#8217;re a leading cause of pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility; in men they can cause painful complications. Untreated infections also raise the risk of acquiring other STIs. The good news is that early treatment prevents almost all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Testing and Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Testing is simple \u2014 usually a swab or urine sample. Both infections are included in our <a href=\"https:\/\/mascothealthcare.com\/sticlinic.php#packages\">Comprehensive STI package<\/a>. If a test is positive, we treat with antibiotics and recommend that your partner is treated too, so you don&#8217;t pass it back and forth. You can learn more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/mascothealthcare.com\/gonorrheacare.php\">gonorrhea test and treatment<\/a> service, and about <a href=\"https:\/\/mascothealthcare.com\/staphtreatment.php\">swab-test treatment<\/a> in general.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the full overview of screening options and prices, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/mascothealthcare.com\/blog\/sti-testing-lagos-complete-guide\/\">complete guide to STI testing in Lagos<\/a>.
