Chlamydia Symptoms

 Chlamydia symptoms normally present themselves from 7 to 21 days after having contact with an infected person.

When chlamydia symptoms appear, they might include the following. In women:

• abnormal vaginal discharge
• bleeding between menstrual periods.
• fever,
• low back pain,
• lower abdominal pain,
• nausea,
• pain during intercourse, or
• stinging or burning sensation during urination.

Typical chlamydia symptoms in men also include

• discomfort around the opening of the penis, but pain or swelling in the testicles area is rare.
• discharge from their penis
• stinging or burning sensation during urination

Chlamydia can spread to the rectum, in which case symptoms might include:

• bleeding.
• discharge,
• rectal pain.

In the United States, the population groups most likely to have chlamydia symptoms include young adults, African Americans, people living in urban areas and people who are economically disadvantaged. The best way to insure you never start to have chlamydia symptoms is to practice safe sex. The more partners you have, the more likely you are to contract chlamydia, especially if you're not protecting yourself.
