Treatment of Chlamydia

Genital chlamydial infections are usually successfully treated with antibiotics.  It is important to treat any sexual partners as well.

The complications of long-term infection can be more difficult to deal with. Early diagnosis and treatment will reduce the risk of complications, so possible symptoms should be investigated as soon as possible. Genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics, or sexual health clinics, can provide the necessary advice, tests and treatment.
