Key points

  • Men are most often affected in the urethra; women in the cervix.
  • Epididymitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and fertility problems can follow an untreated infection, so early treatment matters.
  • Sexual partners need treatment as well, to prevent reinfection.

How it spreads

Infection passes from one person to another during unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. Easier access to testing explains part of the rise in reported cases.

Signs and symptoms

Many infections cause no symptoms. When signs do develop, they are usually mild: unusual discharge, a burning feeling on urination, or discomfort in the pelvis. These signs can be easy to overlook.

Antibiotic treatment

A short course of antibiotics usually clears the infection. Doxycycline is a first-choice treatment; the usual course is one week, with two doses each day. It is available as Vibramycin 100mg tablets. The tablets contain doxycycline. Pharmacy partners in India ship to Malaysia in discreet packaging.

When to seek advice

For early detection, routine sexual-health screening is more dependable than waiting for signs to appear. See a doctor for a sexual-health check after unprotected sex or if a partner has been diagnosed. Early treatment matters.
