Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are the two most common sexually transmitted diseases. Both of these diseases are caused by bacteria and can be transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse with an infected partner.

People with chlamydia experience their first symptoms within a few weeks of contracting the infection. With gonorrhoea, there's no surety of when the symptoms will occur. Often, there are no symptoms at all.

These sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common in both women and men. However, more cases in women are reported. The infection rates are highest amongst women within the age groups of 15 to 24. 

Healthcare professionals recommend that all sexually active women and men get themselves tested regularly every year to reduce the risk factors. Having sexual activities with multiple people without contraception can result in the transmission of these diseases.

Why Should You Get Tested?

Contracting sexually transmitted diseases is common and can also be cured with a precise following of the medication dosage. However, for the treatment to begin at the early stages of contraction, you need to get yourself tested and diagnosed regularly. 

Leaving it untreated can lead to unnecessary complications and severe damage to your organs and body parts.
