A member asked:
Can chlamydia cause low sex drive? i'm a woman and have been experiencing some symptoms (thick white discharge, bleeding after sex, etc.) that lead me to believe i may have chlamydia. is it possible that low sex drive could also be a symptom?

If : If you are having thick white discharge and bleeding after sex then you may very well have an std like chlamydia or even a yeast or bacterial infection. You need to be evaluated by a doctor for testing and treatment. If you do have an std your partner(s) need to be treated as well. Please use condoms to protect yourself against std's. Chlamydia does not affect your sex drive, but having a thick white discharge and bleeding with sex definitely will. Please seek care.

Probably not, but...: Chlamydial infection will not directly affect sexual desire. However, if you are anxious or stressed about the possibility of chlamydia or other STDs, or perhaps about a partner having other partners, those emotions certainly could lower sex drive. Take it one step at a time: get examined and tested for chlamydia and other STDs, and treated if necessary. Then address the sex drive if necessary.
