About 23 000 Norwegians contract chlamydia every year, according to Norway’s Tønsberg Blad newspaper.
Chlamydia is sexually transmitted infection (STI) that may or may not include symptoms. You can get chlamydia by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the infection and is curable with antibiotics.
Symptoms for women to look out for are abnormal vaginal discharge and/or a burning sensation when urinating.
Symptoms for men can include a discharge from the penis, a burning sensation when urinating as well as pain and swelling in the testicles.
