Chlamydia Symptoms

Both men and women can contract chlamydia. However, many people with the disease do not have active symptoms.

If you do have symptoms, they usually take the following forms:

Pain in your lower abdomen

Bleeding between periods

Pain or uncomfortable discharge around your anus

Milky or pus-like discharge from the penis

Pain during sex

Burning sensation while peeing

Swollen and tender testicles

Yellow discharge from the vagina

Chlamydia can also infect other tissues in the body. If it gets into the eye area, it can cause redness and skin discoloration. It can also cause itchiness and discharge. In some isolated cases, people may also develop throat and eyesores.

People who have signs of chlamydia should go for STD testing. Chlamydia is a disease that you can pass onto other people.

How People Contract Chlamydia

There are several ways that you might get chlamydia. It occurs when you have sexual contact with somebody with the infection.

Sexual intercourse – both vaginal and anal – can lead to chlamydia infection. It is also something that you can contract if you have oral sex.

In rare cases, some people can get chlamydia infection if they touch their eyes with contaminated hands. Mothers can also spread chlamydia to babies if they have it already.

Importantly, you can't get chlamydia from holding hands, kissing, hugging, or sharing food and drink with an infected person. You also will not get it from sitting on a public toilet.

Chlamydia is a common infection that affects around 3 million people each year. The most susceptible age group are those aged 14 to 24.

Chlamydia is carried through the fluids involved in sex, including semen, pre-cum, and vaginal fluids. It can infect a wide range of tissues in the urogenital region, plus the eyes and throat. Because it is a bacterial condition, antibiotics can easily clear it up. If you contract the disease, you must see your doctor. If you don't, it can lead to serious health problems in the future.
