Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?

Symptoms of a chlamydia infection of the cervix in a female may include the following:

vaginal discharge

mild pain and discomfort when urinating

abdominal distress, if the infection has spread to the uterus, tubes, or ovaries

pain in the upper right of the abdomen, if the liver is involved

Chlamydia infections of the throat usually cause a sore throat.

Chlamydia infections of the rectum can cause the following:

rectal pain

discharge from the rectum, which may be bloody

frequent, painful urges to have a bowel movement
