What is Chlamydia?

i know its an STD, but what are the symptoms? can it come back after taking medication? and can guys get it too?or are they just carriers?

Chlamydia usally turns into PID (pelvic Inflammatory Diease)
Which you may get pain in the ovary area. Once it has been tested by swab sample the Dr gives Antibiotics to the pt and it goes away never to return!!
Its only a 7 day course, so its worth checking out because PID can cause infertlity Source(s): Im a Nurse

The scary thing about chlamydia is that for women it has no symptoms. After taking medication it's imperative that you go for follow-up to make sure that it's completely gone. Once you get a negative result you're cured, it won't come back but you can always be exposed again. Not being treated can lead to sterililty and a host of reproductive problems.

Guys certainly can and do get it. If you've been exposed you must be tested, and your sexual partners must be tested as well.

Good luck, dear.
It's an STD I convinced someone in a tampon factory to contaminate a certain tampon with, that certain tampon is headed your way! ENJOY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
How Do I Know if I Have Chlamydia?

It is not easy to tell if you are infected with chlamydia since symptoms are not always apparent. But when they do occur, they are usually noticeable within 1-3 weeks of contact and can include the following:

Symptoms in Women

* Abnormal vaginal discharge that may have an odor
* Bleeding between periods
* Painful periods
* Abdominal pain with fever
* Pain when having sex
* Itching or burning in or around the vagina
* Pain when urinating

What Happens If I Don't Get Treated?

If you do not get treated for Chlamydia, you run the risk of several health problems.

* For women. If left untreated, the infection can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which can lead to damage of the fallopian tubes (the tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus) or even cause infertility (the inability to have children), and untreated chlamydia infection could increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy (when the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterus.) Furthermore, chlamydia may cause premature births (giving birth too early) and the infection can be passed along from the mother to her child during childbirth, causing an eye infection, blindness or pneumonia in the newborn.
