Title: Chlamydia Test (Urine)
Description:
The Chlamydia Test (Urine) detects the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). This test is essential for diagnosing chlamydia in individuals who may not show symptoms, as the infection often remains silent while potentially causing serious health complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and infertility in both men and women. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent transmission and long-term health issues. This test is recommended for sexually active individuals, particularly those under 25 or with new or multiple partners.
Instructions:
Fasting is not required for this test. To ensure accurate results, do not urinate for at least one hour before providing your urine sample. The first part of the urine stream (first-catch urine) should be collected in a sterile container, as it contains the highest concentration of the bacteria if present. Avoid using any cleansing wipes before sample collection.
