Most people who are infected by Chlamydia show NO symptoms. However, when you start showing symptoms they’re very painful.
Women may find an unusual vaginal discharge, burning when they pass urine, pain during sex, bleeding or spotting during periods or bleeding after sex, fever or pain in the lower abdomen.
Men may experience a painful or watery discharge, burning when they urinate, burning and itching around the hole of the penis or swelling of the testes.
Do you know how you can prevent this? USE A CONDOM! So so easy.
However, if you do catch Chlamydia and if left untreated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can result in an ectopic pregnacy, premature birth, long-term pelvic pain and infertility in women.
Men can experience inflammation of the testicles and infertility.
An untreated STI may also increase your risk of contracting HIV.
YOU MUST STOP THE SPREAD OF CHLAMYDIA:
Even if you have no symptoms some Doctors recommend to get tested. If you are sexually active or have multiple partners get a check up every three to six months. It is easy and painless. You will be asked to take a urine test or a swab of the vagina, cervix, anus or penis. Treatment mostly is a one-dose course of antibiotics and a follow-up test.
