What to know before your consultation

Chlamydia and its treatment

Chlamydia is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection that often causes no symptoms. When it does, it can cause unusual discharge, burning when you pee, or pelvic or testicular pain. It is usually cured with a short course of antibiotics: the doctor may consider doxycycline or, when doxycycline is not suitable, azithromycin. Treatment also means telling recent partners so they can be tested and treated, and avoiding sex until everyone has finished treatment.

Who can be treated online

The online pathway is for people with their own positive chlamydia test, or whose sexual partner has tested positive. If you only have symptoms, you are asked to get tested first, because symptoms alone cannot confirm chlamydia. Pregnancy, fever with pelvic or testicular pain, sudden severe testicular pain, rectal pain or bleeding, eye symptoms or joint swelling need in-person care. An allergy to both antibiotic groups also means referral, and the questionnaire tells you before you pay.

Side effects and warning signs

Doxycycline can cause nausea and makes skin redden more easily in the sun, so it is taken with a large glass of water, without lying down straight afterwards, and with sun protection. It is avoided in pregnancy. Azithromycin can cause stomach upset and diarrhoea and, rarely, heart-rhythm changes in people at risk. Untreated chlamydia can spread to the womb and fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can affect fertility. Seek urgent care for fever, severe abdominal or pelvic pain, or sudden testicular pain.

Testing and in-person care

Sexual-health clinics and family doctors can test for chlamydia and other infections and treat you in person, which is the right route for complicated or repeated infections. Condoms lower the risk of chlamydia and other sexually transmitted infections. Regular testing is worth considering if you have new or several partners, since many infections cause no symptoms. If the doctor decides online treatment is not appropriate, they explain why, tell you where to go, and your consultation fee is refunded.

What guidelines recommend

The World Health Organization describes chlamydia as generally curable with antibiotics and notes that most sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reports that chlamydia is the leading sexually transmitted infection in Europe, and that untreated infection can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility, even without symptoms. US CDC guidance recommends doxycycline for seven days as the preferred treatment, with azithromycin as an alternative, and European guidance also lists both. Partner notification and retesting are part of these guidelines.

Your chlamydia consultation

You answer a questionnaire about your test result or your partner's, your symptoms, recent sexual contacts, pregnancy, allergies and medicines. An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers in the private chat, checks for signs of a more serious infection and, if appropriate, prescribes the antibiotic that suits you. You collect and pay for it at a pharmacy of your choice in the EU. The doctor also explains how to tell recent partners and when to test for other infections.

After your treatment

Take the full course, and avoid sex until you and your recent partners have finished treatment and the waiting period your doctor advises has passed. A repeat test about three months later is usually advised, because reinfection is common. Contact your doctor in the chat if symptoms do not settle, you miss doses, or you had sex with an untreated partner. Testing for HIV, syphilis and gonorrhoea is also recommended if you have not had it recently.

FAQs

Your questions answered

Chlamydia9 questions
Can chlamydia be treated online?
Often, yes. The doctor reviews your answers and tells you whether treatment, a test or an in-person visit is the right next step.
The doctor tells you whether a test is needed and where to take one. Testing again after treatment may also be advised.
Yes. If you had sexual contact with someone who has a confirmed positive chlamydia test, the doctor can assess you for treatment even without your own result. Getting tested yourself is still recommended. Without a positive test, yours or a partner's, the online pathway asks you to test first.
Fever with pelvic or testicular pain, sudden severe testicular pain, severe abdominal pain, or rectal pain with bleeding or ulcers can signal a more serious infection. A confirmed pregnancy also needs in-person care. The questionnaire stops at these answers and you are not charged. If you feel very unwell, go to a health centre or emergency department today.
The doctor chooses the antibiotic based on your allergies, other medicines and medical history. Take the full course exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms settle. Some antibiotics make the skin more sensitive to the sun, or must be taken apart from antacids, iron or calcium supplements, and the doctor explains this in your plan.
Avoid sex, including oral and anal sex, until you and your recent partners have finished treatment and the waiting period the doctor gives you has passed. This stops the infection passing back and forth. Tell recent partners so they can be tested and treated too; the doctor can help you with how to do this.
Message the doctor in the chat if symptoms continue after you finish the course, or start a new consultation after a new exposure. Ongoing symptoms can have another cause, including a different infection, so the doctor may recommend tests for gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV, or an in-person check.
The consultation is €35, one-off, with no subscription. If a prescription is issued, the medicine is paid at your pharmacy.
You receive a full refund, and the doctor explains why in your account.
Sexual health7 questions
We offer six focused consultation pathways. Choose the one that best matches your symptoms or situation:
Every sexual-health pathway is a €35 one-off consultation. Sexual health is not included in a subscription. A doctor's review arrives in less than 2 hours on average; this is an average, not a guaranteed response time. Medication is paid for separately at the pharmacy if prescribed.
The most common are PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, avanafil). In specific cases topical alprostadil is used. The doctor selects the most suitable option based on your history, current medication, and lifestyle.
These are medications with decades of clinical use and generally well tolerated. But they are contraindicated if you take nitrates or have severe cardiovascular disease. That's why the questionnaire explicitly asks about cardiac medication. It's not a formality.
Yes. Topical alprostadil is a second-line option. In resistant cases, the doctor may recommend an in-person urology referral to evaluate other causes (hormonal, vascular, psychological).
Fully. All communication happens through the private chat on your account. We send nothing by postal mail with the Hi-Doctor name visible; the prescription is digital.
Yes, it's one of the reasons we ask for a detailed cardiovascular history. Erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease, and sometimes an in-person check-up is advisable before treating it only pharmacologically.

Saying it is the first step
