It seems a typo. Maybe you are asking about chlamydia: a. bacteria which causes a number of diseases which affect both men and animals (Microbiology); sexually transmitted disease which affects the genitalia (Pathology)

A VD or STD that you should read about...see below details.

OVERVIEW

Chlamydia ("kla-MID-ee-uh") is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI). You can get chlamydial infection during oral, vaginal, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. It can cause serious problems in men and women, such as penile discharge and infertility respectively, as well as infections in newborn babies of infected mothers.

Chlamydia is one of the most widespread bacterial STIs in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 2.8 million people are infected each year.

CAUSE
Chlamydia is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis.

SYMPTOMS
Chlamydia bacteria live in vaginal fluid and in semen. About 70 percent of chlamydial infections have no symptoms, thereby naming it the "silent" disease. Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after you are infected. Those who do have symptoms may have an abnormal discharge (mucus or pus) from the vagina or penis or experience pain while urinating. These early symptoms may be very mild.

The bacterial infection may move inside your body if it is not treated.

In women, bacteria can infect the cervix and urinary tract in women. If the bacteria move into the fallopian tubes, they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) .

In men, bacteria can infect the urinary tract and the epididymis, causing epididymitis (inflammation of the reproductive area near the testicles).

PID and epididymitis are both very serious illnesses.
