First off, why did you specifically ask
about chlamydia?
Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease
because three quarters of infected women
and half of infected men have no symptoms.
The infection is frequently not diagnosed
or treated until complications develop.
The few women with symptoms might have an
abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning
sensation when urinating. When the
infection spreads from the cervix to the
fallopian tubes, some women still have no
signs or symptoms; others have lower
abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea,
fever, pain during intercourse, and
bleeding between menstrual periods.
Whenever the infection spreads past the
cervix into the upper reproductive system,
permanent and irreversible damage can
occur.
Men with signs or symptoms might have a
discharge from the penis and a burning
sensation when urinating. Men might also
have burning and itching around the
opening of the penis or pain and swelling
in the testicles, or both ... And the
symptoms usually occur 1-3 weeks after
having sex.
I hope this helped.. And please reply
back to me.. With your symptoms..
Because there's many other things that it
could be
