Chlamydia

Chlamydia in Mexico

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is one of the most common STIs worldwide and in Mexico, particularly among young people ages 15 to 29. In many cases it is asymptomatic, which makes early detection difficult. When symptoms are present, they can include abnormal genital discharge, burning when urinating, and pelvic pain. Without treatment, it can cause complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.
