Yes, trachomatis and Chlamydia are the same thing.

Chlamydia is the common name for the sexually transmitted infection, and Chlamydia trachomatis is the exact scientific name of the bacteria that causes Chlamydia.

Chlamydia is a very common bacterial infection that is passed through oral, vaginal or even anal sex.

Chlamydia trachomatis is also the specific microorganism that is responsible for the Chlamydia genital infection, although different strains of the same bacteria can also cause eye diseases such as trachoma.

Doctors also treat and cure both the infection as well as the bacteria easily using standard prescription antibiotics.

Chlamydia is a very common, curable sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria, most often spreading without any signs.

Key aspects of Chlamydia include common symptoms, how it spreads, and medical treatment.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Chlamydia In women include unusual vaginal discharge, burning pain when peeing, or pain during sex.

In men the common signs and symptoms of Chlamydia include discharge from the penis, burning pain when peeing, or sore and swollen testicles.

Most people feel fine and do not notice any changes when they have Chlamydia.

Chlamydia is spread by passing through unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal sex with an infected person.

Transferring from an untreated mother to her baby during childbirth can also lead to Chlamydia in the baby.

Safe prevention of Chlamydia relies on using condoms correctly and getting tested regularly.

Treating and curing the Chlamydia infection requires prescription antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin.

Both you and your sexual partners must finish all medicine to stop reinfection.
