Chlamydia


Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the infection?

Many chlamydia infections do not cause any symptoms. For this reason, a sexual partner may be exposed without either partner knowing it. They may pass the organism to other unsuspecting partners.

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

  • 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
  • A chlamydia infection of the urethra in a male may include the following symptoms:

  • watery or mucous-like discharge from the penis
  • burning or pain with urination
  • frequent urination
  • Chlamydia infections of the throat usually cause a sore throat.

    Following are symptoms that can result from chlamydia infections of the rectum:

  • rectal pain
  • discharge from the rectum, which may be bloody
  • frequent, painful urges to have a bowel movement
  • A newborn infected with chlamydia may have eye discharge from an eye infection or breathing problems from pneumonia.
