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.
