What are they and do they have any discharge?? or abdominal pain for women???

Symptoms of Chlamydia:

If you have chlamydia, chances are that you may exhibit few symptoms. Chlamydia symptoms may be mild and can easily go undetected. Women are more likely to experience few symptoms associated with the infection although chlamydia in men can also result in few or no symptoms. Signs of chlamydia usually appear between 1 and 3 weeks after infection, though sometimes they can take longer to manifest.

Early chlamydia signs and symptoms tend to be mild and include pain during urination, frequent urination, and low fever. later symptoms can be more intense and include nausea, fatigue, and abnormal discharge from the vagina or penis. Oral chlamydia, usually passed through oral sex, can result in a sore throat and throat infection. In anal infections, swelling of the rectum can occur. though rare, males suffering from the disease may experience swelling of the testicles. other symptoms in women include abdominal pain, lower back pain, irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting, and pain during sex.

If you think you may be infected, or are exhibiting any symptoms of chlamydia, get tested. It is important to treat the disease as soon as possible, as prolonged exposure can cause serious damage to the reproductive organs.

Symptoms of Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea can be difficult to diagnose, especially in women. this is because women often exhibit few or no symptoms, or mistake gonorrhea for a mild bladder infection; in fact, as many as 50% of female gonorrhea sufferers experience no symptoms. Men are much more likely to develop symptoms. Gonorrhea can infect the cervix, urethra, anus, and throat. Depending upon how you contracted the disease and how long you've had it for, you may experience symptoms affecting a number of these areas.

Symptoms of gonorrhea generally appear between 2 and 10 days after infection, although it could take as long as 30 days for your symptoms to appear. if you are a woman and are suffering from gonorrhea, you may experience bleeding after sex and frequent, painful urination. These symptoms are especially common in the early stages of an infection of the cervix. later symptoms include nausea, fever, vomiting, bleeding between periods, and a yellow or bloody vaginal discharge.

If you are a man infected with gonorrhea, you may experience pain while urinating, frequent urination, and swollen testicles. this indicates an infection of the urethra. You may also notice a white, green, or yellow discharge from the tip of your penis. Your penis will probably look tender and redder than usual and you may notice a swelling of the glands in the groin area.

The gonorrhea bacteria can also infect the anus and throat. Symptoms of an infection in the anus include painful bowel movements, itching, discharge, and bloody stool. An oral infection often causes a sore throat, and a pus-like material on the tonsils or on the back of the throat. Infections in these areas can easily spread to other parts of the body so it is important to get treated as soon as possible.

They both are sexually transmitted diseases.
If left untreated for both, you can get an infection.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are two of the most common types of sexually transmitted diseases. both diseases have similar symptoms. while they are common, both need to be treated by a medical doctor and safe sex practices should be used to keep from acquiring these diseases.

Discharge

Abnormal vaginal discharge and penile discharge is a common symptom for both Chlamydia and gonorrhea. Women may notice a change in color, texture or smell of discharge and men may see a yellow or light brown discharge.

Bleeding

Women may notice irregular bleeding or light spotting between periods.

Pain and Burning

Men may experience testicular pain associated with both diseases. Women may have vaginal pain or discomfort. Pain while urinating is common for both sexes. Burning while urinating is a common occurrence for either disease and is almost always present with gonorrhea.

Hi !

Bacterial STDs can be treated and cured, but STDs caused by viruses usually cannot be cured. you can get a bacterial STD over and over again, even if it is one that you were treated for and cured of in the past.

For more information on the symptoms, treatment, and possible complications of specific STDs, see the specific topic in Related Information.

It may take several years for symptoms of HIV to show up. some people have flu symptoms within months of infection, but there is no way to tell the difference between flu symptoms caused by HIV and flu symptoms caused by actual flu. Symptoms of other STDs may take months to show up.

The only way to find out if you have HIV or other STDs is to get tested. more than 98% of people who have HIV would test positive within 3 months. In very rare cases, it could take up to 6 months for someone to test positive.

Once someone is infected, they can pass the STD to others, even if they do not have symptoms yet, and even before they test positive.
