hey, sorry if this is kinda gross but anyways...recently when i went to see my gynecologist, as i'd been having severe pain whilst passing urine for almost a year now, and she now thinks i have chlamydia! my boyfriend and I have only ever had sex with each other, so i wondered if anyone knew why i would get this? we normally use condoms, but occasionally don't as im on a contraceptive injection. Also, does anyone know of anything else which may cause chlamydia?

Thanks, Hannah

    if you think that you have chlamidia you really need to get it sorted asap as left untreated it can cause problems.

    The only way that you can get chlamidia is through having sex as far as im aware. Go and get tested atleast that way you will know whether it is or not, even if it isnt its not pointless, better to be safe than sorry atleast you will have ruled it out.

    if it is positive i think you might need to have a lil word withyour chappy

    Sorry far the bad news, but if you have it, and you havn't slept with anyone else, you bf prob has.

    Still. Most important thing is to get it sorted. Q.easy, but v.important.

    If you have it, get it checked out immediatly. My girlfriends friend has it, it can do some pretty grusome things.
    Time to have a serious talk with your boyfriend, he needs to be honest here.
    Could it be an infection? My girlfriend just got one of those and she says it hurts when she pees... I have no idea though..

    yeah, at first we thought i had urine infections but they've been going on for a year now, so my doctor wants to test for chlamydia. she said something about if it was chlamydia i'd need to treat it fast because it can lead to infertility and now shes got me really worried, it will be a month before my results come back

    yeah i live on an island, which means they have to be sent to the mainland, which is pretty crap because i'd rather not wait any longer.

    i agree, if it turns out its not chlamydia you'll look like a right plank, and probably ruin your relationship, so wait till the test and then kick him in the jeb end

    Yeah wait for the test results before jumping the gun, and when you get them and if their positive; tell him your doctor told you that you can catch clamidia from public toilet seats (which is true, but highly unlikely). If he jumps at the chance to shift the blame that he might have caught it from a public toilet seat, you'll be pretty sure he's lying. I actually saw this same scenerio on a House episode last night.
    How long have you been together, because he might have had it before the relationship started and not known. Also your doc should have given you broad spectrum antibiotics without knowing the results anyway.

    thats not true im afraid, this is a site here
    and it states the needed information about chlamydia, there is no where that states you can catch it from a toilet seat. It can only be caught though sex.

    It can be caught from toilet seats, but the chances are extremely low.

    If it comes back positive, just have a frank talk to him. Maybe he had sex with someone else before he met you, and has been infected all the while. But anyway, good luck on the results.

    Bad advice. You can't diagnose someone through these boards, and it may not be chlamydia. If it isn't, she risks ruining her relationship and damaging the trust between them.

    Hello Hannah. Don't panic, relax and waiting until you get the results. I recently had a unine test for chlamydia/gonorrea (as I'd had unprotected sex with someone)...which was thankfully negative. IF your test is positive for chlamydia then you (and your boyfriend) will need treatment. The treatment is a small course of antibiotics (just 4 tablets).

    'Have words'. There was no 'IF it is positive' on the end.
