Infecciones por clamidia en mujeres - Síntomas

Síntomas:

Nota: algunas mujeres con clamidia no presentan síntomas en absoluto. Sólo algunas mujeres presentarán síntomas; por lo tanto, es necesario realizar pruebas de detección para clamidia a mujeres sexualmente activas con el fin de diagnosticar y tratar la afección en aquellas que sean asintomáticas.

Signos y exámenes:

El diagnóstico de una infección por clamidia en una mujer implica tomar una muestra de secreciones cervicales y enviarla a un laboratorio para un cultivo endocervical o una prueba similar llamada PCR.

La infección por clamidia también se puede diagnosticar con un examen de orina.

Igualmente, se puede hacer un cultivo endocervical para gonorrea.
