CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS PCR Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Cost
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is one of the most common STIs in the world and can affect both men and women. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious health problems such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and even blindness.
Symptoms of Chlamydia
Many people with chlamydia do not experience any symptoms, which is why it is often referred to as a “silent” infection. However, some common symptoms of chlamydia in women include:
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Painful periods
- Pain during sex
- Bleeding after sex
- Lower abdominal pain
- Fever
Men with chlamydia may experience the following symptoms:
- Painful urination
- Discharge from the penis
- Swollen or tender testicles
Diagnosis of Chlamydia
The most common way to diagnose chlamydia is through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which detects the genetic material of the bacteria. The test is usually done on a urine sample, but it can also be done on a swab from the cervix (in women) or the urethra (in men). The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
The PCR test is highly accurate and can detect chlamydia even in asymptomatic patients. It is recommended that sexually active individuals get tested for chlamydia and other STIs at least once a year, or more often if they have multiple partners.
Cost of Chlamydia Trachomatis PCR Test
The cost of a chlamydia trachomatis PCR test in India is approximately INR 4095. However, the cost may vary depending on the laboratory and location.
