What are the symptoms of chlamydia? |
I don't want to google it. So, if you just want points for telling me to google it, you're lame. <3 Almost half of all women who get chlamydia and are not treated by a doctor will get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a generic term for infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries. PID can cause scarring inside the reproductive organs, which can later cause serious complications, including chronic pelvic pain, difficulty becoming pregnant, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, and other dangerous complications of pregnancy. Chlamydia causes 250,000 to 500,000 cases of PID every year in the U.S. [2] Chlamydia is known as the "Silent Epidemic" because in women, it may not cause any symptom and will linger for months or years before being discovered. Symptoms that may occur include: unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain in the abdomen, painful sexual intercourse, fever, painful urination or the urge to urinate more frequently than usual. In men, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: a painful or burning sensation when urinating, an unusual discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles, or fever. Chlamydia in men can spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility. Chlamydia causes more than 250,000 cases of epididymitis in the USA each year. Chlamydia may also cause reactive arthritis (also known as Reiter's syndrome), especially in young men. About 15,000 men develop reactive arthritis due to chlamydia infection each year in the USA, and about 5,000 are permanently affected by it. As many as half of all infants born to mothers with chlamydia will be born with the disease. Chlamydia can affect infants by causing spontaneous abortion, premature birth, blindness, and pneumonia. :-)~ Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chlamydia... fifty percent of infected women, and twenty-five percent of infected men, may not experience any symptoms abnormal discharge pain during urination No symptoms - many cases are asymptomatic (as many as 85% of female cases and 40% of male cases) Vaginal discharge Penile discharge Anal discharge Pain while urinating Light vaginal bleeding Vaginal bleeding after intercourse Symptoms of a milder chronic infection: Yellow vaginal discharge Smelly vaginal discharge Lower abdominal pain Lower back pain Lower abdominal pain worse during menstruation Lower back pain worse during menstruation Spotting Spotting after sex http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/chlamyd... http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/c/chlamydi... fishy odor, yellowish foamy discharge from the lady, and itchy vagina no symptoms for the man good luck er doc In post pubertal women, it can cause an off-white vaginal discharge and odor which comes from the infected cervix.
