    Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria that is transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can cause pain while urinating, abnormal discharge, and pain in testicles or lower abdomen in men and women. Left untreated, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women and infertility. Treatment involves antibiotics, and risk can be reduced by getting tested, using condoms correctly, and communicating with sexual partners.
