Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and many people who have it feel fine. The CDC recommends yearly testing for all sexually active women under 25 and for others at higher risk. At Urgent Care Center of Westmont in Westmont, IL, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, you can walk in for discreet chlamydia testing without an appointment.
Testing is simple. It usually uses a urine sample or a vaginal swab. Our team, led by board-certified physicians, will talk with you privately, answer your questions and explain what to do if your result is positive.
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection spread through vaginal, anal or oral sex without a condom. It can also pass from a pregnant person to a baby during delivery.
Most people have no symptoms. If it is not treated, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women. This can block the fallopian tubes and lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy or chronic pelvic pain. The CDC also notes that untreated chlamydia can raise the risk of getting or passing HIV.
You will speak with a provider in a private room about symptoms, partners and any concerns. Based on that, they will recommend the right sample. For most people that is a urine test. Some people need a vaginal or rectal swab. Lab testing is available on site.
Many patients choose to test for gonorrhea, HIV and other STIs during the same visit. The CDC recommends an HIV test for anyone being checked for an STI.
Go to the nearest emergency room if you have severe pain in the lower belly or pelvis, fever with nausea or vomiting, or pain or bleeding during pregnancy. Sudden, severe pain in a testicle is an emergency.
Call 911 for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke or heavy bleeding.
