If you are experiencing symptoms or have had a potential exposure, Sahara West Urgent Care provides fast, confidential, and judgment-free chlamydia testing and treatment right here in Las Vegas.
As a common, fully curable bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), chlamydia often causes no symptoms at all earning it the nickname of the “silent infection.” Left untreated, however, it can lead to more serious reproductive health complications. Our walk-in clinic makes getting screened and treated quick, simple, and affordable.
Need immediate care? Walk right into our clinic at 6125 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89146, or call us at (702) 248-0554 to speak with our care team.
Chlamydia testing is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to detect the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. At Sahara West Urgent Care, testing is typically performed via a straightforward first-catch urine sample or a quick swab, eliminating the need for uncomfortable procedures.
If your test returns positive or if your clinical presentation and known exposure strongly indicate infection our licensed medical providers can prescribe targeted antibiotic therapy (such as azithromycin or doxycycline) immediately to clear the infection and prevent long-term health issues.
Because chlamydia is frequently asymptomatic, regular screening is vital if you have a new partner, multiple partners, or unprotected intercourse. When symptoms do appear, they typically develop within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure and include:
Abnormal vaginal discharge
Burning or pain during urination
Pain during sexual intercourse
Bleeding between menstrual periods or heavier periods
Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort
Discharge from the penis (watery, white, or milky)
Burning or stinging sensation during urination
Itching or irritation around the opening of the penis
Pain and swelling in one or both testicles (less common)
