In addition, 40% to 96% of people with Chlamydia show no symptoms of this disease. When discovered, however, Chlamydia can be treated.<\/p>\n<p>However, untreated Chlamydia can cause irreparable health complications like damaging a woman&#8217;s reproductive system, causing ectopic pregnancy, and causing infertility in men.<\/p>\n<p>This is why healthcare providers recommend regular screening for sexually active people at higher risk of getting infected.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Chlamydia be dormant?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Chlamydia\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yoursexualhealth.co.uk\/blog\/how-long-can-chlamydia-lay-dormant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">can be dormant<\/a>\u00a0in the body for several years without any flare-up to trigger a symptomatic infection. This means a person could live with Chlamydia for many years without knowing because the typical symptoms don&#8217;t appear.<\/p>\n<p>However, Chlamydia can cause a flare-up after laying dormant for several years if the strength of a person&#8217;s immune system has been diminished by severe conditions like HIV, cold or flu, and cancer, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Although in some cases, symptoms of the infection appear within a few weeks of contact, there have been instances where Chlamydia remained dormant for over 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>This is why it is vital to get screened regularly if you have suspicions after recent sexual contact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2zbzumnfle0rf.cloudfront.net\/assets\/uploads\/62c7136343fed-natracare-r7UjnJHJxmY-unsplash.jpg\" \/>\u00a0Painful menstruation or bleeding between menstrual cycles can be symptoms of Chlamydial infection<\/p>\n<h2>Does dormant Chlamydia test positive?<\/h2>\n<p>Chlamydia trachomatis can be present and dormant in the body for several years.

The waiting period for the results depends on the mode of the Chlamydia test.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Urine test<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Your doctor would require you to pee in a cup that will be tested in a laboratory to see if Chlamydia bacteria are in your urine.<\/p>\n<p>This test takes about 2-5 days to show a positive if you are infected with the disease.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Blood test<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Your doctor will take out some of your blood to be sent into the lab for testing to see if antibodies to Chlamydia are in your bloodstream.<\/p>\n<p>Blood test results can come back in a few minutes when the blood is analyzed.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Swab test<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Your doctor will use a stick or cotton round to acquire a small sample of suspected fluid that has the infection.<\/p>\n<p>This sample is then cultured to see what bacteria grow from it. It can take up to 2-3 days to show results.<\/p>\n<h3>How long can Chlamydia be dormant?<\/h3>\n<p>Chlamydia can stay dormant in a person&#8217;s body for years without apparent symptoms. In some cases, symptoms appear within 2-14 days after infection. However, some people, especially men, may have Chlamydia for years without knowing it.<\/p>\n<p>Most men usually don&#8217;t show symptoms of Chlamydia when they&#8217;re infected but are still capable of transmitting it to others.<\/p>\n<p>If an infected person conducts a test, however, even if Chlamydia is dormant, they will test positive for the infection. Chlamydia can still be detected even in a dormant stage.<\/p>\n<h2>When should I consult my doctor?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s advised that you <a href=\"https:\/\/doctoralexa.com\/en\/consultation\">contact your healthcare provider<\/a> as soon as you suspect you have come in contact with infected bodily fluids.<\/p>\n<p>This is important as
