Chlamydia Symptoms to Know

Chlamydia is a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD). If you suspect you’re experiencing some of the symptoms of chlamydia, it’s advisable to make an appointment at a gynecology office right away. If left untreated, this STD can lead to infertility and an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. It is possible to have chlamydia and not experience any symptoms. When symptoms do arise, they typically do so several weeks after you had unprotected sex.

Women with chlamydia will typically experience symptoms such as a burning sensation while urinating and unusual vaginal discharge. Women may also notice abnormally painful periods, bleeding between periods, and pain during intercourse. The area in and around the vagina may itch and burn. Additionally, patients may suffer from abdominal pain, accompanied by a fever. If the rectum is infected with chlamydia, rectal pain, bleeding, and unusual discharge can occur.
