the only symptoms of chlamydia i have is itching and swelling cant that be a yeast infection?

Question

should i just get checked anyway i have only had 1 partner

Answer 1

yes u might get AIDs

Answer 2

you might not have chlamydia, but once i thought i had a yeast infection and it turned out to be something called "bacterial vaginosis" which many mistake for a eyast infection but it is not treatable the same way. don't jsut go to the drugstore for Y.I. creams, as these wont help you. The Dr can give you antibiotics and it will go away in a day or so. But what sucks is that you cant drink when youre on the pills, and the pills are for 7 days.

go get checked, and make your BF get checked too because if it is a Y.I., he can reinfect you if he isnt treated as well.

Answer 3

It could be or some other type of topical infection. You should get checked every year just to be sure. How many partners did your partner have? What about each of them? And so on and so forth. Take about 1500mg of vitamin C a day, buy some colloidal silver at least 10ppm (parts per million, it's kind of a measure of potency) and spray or pour about 2 tablespoons two or three times a day. Also drink a tablespoon of it every day and continue for at least 1 week after it goes away. You can order it online or get it from bigger healthfood stores. If you have to pay $20 for one ournce of 100 or 200ppm, just dilute the ounce in a cup of water and shake it every time you're about to use it.

Answer 4

chlamydia and yeast often occur together. I would treat for yeast, and then if there were still symptoms, I would see a doctor.
If you are in a monogamous relationship, I would have your partner treat externally with the same cream you use vaginally, so you are not passing it back and forth to each other.

Answer 5

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmissible infections (STIs) in Australia, especially among young people. It is caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia infects the neck of the womb (cervix) in women and the tube inside the penis (urethra) in men. Sometimes it can infect the throat and anus of either sex.

Many people feel a mixture of fear and anger if they think they have an STI. It’s common to feel shame or guilt as well. Because these can be strong feelings, some people decide to avoid the issue. Embarrassment can also stop people getting help. You should get advice, reassurance or treatment as early as possible. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can lead to chronic pain and infertility (the inability to get pregnant).

Symptoms in women
Women may have no signs or symptoms with chlamydia. If symptoms are present, they may include:

An unusual vaginal fluid (discharge)
A burning sensation when urinating
Deep pain during vaginal sex
Vaginal bleeding after sex.
Symptoms in men
Men may have no signs or symptoms either. If symptoms are present, they may include:
White or clear fluid (discharge) from the penis
Discomfort during urination.
How it is diagnosed
Chlamydia is diagnosed by laboratory tests for the bacterium in specimens taken from the cervix or penis, or from a urine sample.

How it is spread
Chlamydia is spread when a person has vaginal or anal sex without a condom with someone who has chlamydia. It can also be spread by oral sex. You can’t tell by looking at someone whether they have an STI or not. So, if you’re having sex without using a condom, you are taking a risk.

Even if you know a person well, you may not be able to tell they have an STI. People can look healthy and strong and still be infected. Since chlamydia infection often has no symptoms, a person may not realise they are infected or that they may infect you. You can get an STI from a new partner who has had unprotected sex with an earlier partner, or from a long term partner who has sex with other people.

Treatment methods
If detected early, chlamydia can be treated with a single dose of antibiotic. Complicated chlamydial infections and pelvic inflammatory disease in women may need longer courses of antibiotics. Partners of people with chlamydia also need to be treated as they may be infected. If your partner is not treated, you can get re-infected.

Prevention
Safe sex practices reduce the risk of STI transmission. The basic rule for safe sex is to prevent blood, semen or vaginal fluids from a sexual partner from entering your body – unless you know for sure that your partner is not carrying an STI. The only way to know that is if they have been tested.

Always use condoms for vaginal, anal and oral sex (penis in mouth). Use dams to cover the vagina or anus for oral sex (tongue in vagina, tongue in anus). You should be at low risk of getting an STI like chlamydia if you have one partner, both of you have had check-ups for STIs and neither of you has sex with anybody else.

Answer 6

Chances are it's only a yeast infection but I would suggest seeing your gyno just in case. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!

Answer 7

Yes get checked. That way you could be treated. Either way you don't want to go with either of those very long. They both just get worse. Check out this website.....

Answer 8

Yes, if you haven't had one before, definately go to the doctor. What a pain those are.
