The chlamydia bacterium is similar to gonorrhea in the symptoms it produces and the way it is spread. Like gonorrhea, it can live in the cervix, urethra, throat, and rectum. Infected persons, both men and women, may lack any symptoms and can spread the disease unknowingly to other sexual partners.

Chlamydia symptoms usually  become evident in one to three weeks after infection.  however, chlamydia is one of the silent STDs because some people show no symptoms at all.  It is estimated that about 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men exhibit no signs of the disease.

In women, chlamydia symptoms include vaginal discharge, burning or painful urination, abdominal pain, and lower back pain, pain during intercourse, fever, nausea, and vaginal bleeding between periods. in men, common symptoms include burning or painful urination, penile discharge, burning or itching around the opening of the penis, and swelling of the testicles.

Symptoms for men and women include a burning sensation while urinating. Chlamydia can travel up the fallopian tubes in women and cause abdominal pain, pain during intercourse, nausea and fever. Symptoms may include a vaginal discharge which may contain pus, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, burning pain when urinating. in chronic cervicitis the cervix may swell and cysts may develop.

Symptoms of an infection will initially include an abnormal vaginal discharge, such as an increase, followed by a foul smell. It may also burn when trying to urinate. Symptoms and signs, which can take anywhere from two to 30 days to appear, include a burning sensation when urinating, or a white, yellow or green discharge from the penis. sometimes men with gonorrhea get painful or swollen testicles. Symptoms of vaginal inflammation point to a different diagnosis or perhaps co-infection with two or more organisms. Diagnosis and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis infection.

Women who have chlamydia only infecting the cervix, where it does not go up and actually infect the fallopian tubes, will probably maintain pretty normal fertility rates. on the other hand, repeated episodes of fallopian tube infection with either chlamydia or gonorrhea increase a woman’s risk of infertility due to tubal blockage and scarring. Women with damaged tubes do occasionally fall pregnant, but there is an increased risk of the pregnancy developing in the tubes rather than the womb. This is called an ectopic pregnancy. Women frequently develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause infertility (not being able to get pregnant), chronic pelvic pain, tubal pregnancies, and the continued spread of the disease.

Women with chlamydia may also experience abnormal vaginal discharge or bleeding and painful sexual intercourse, while men with chlamydia may also experience slimy discharge from the penis and testicular pain. Chlamydia is easy to treat if it’s caught early. Women infected with chlamydia are also up to five times more likely to contract HIV if exposed, than women with a healthy reproductive system.

Men and women have different symptoms of gonorrhea.Women can experience a burning sensation when urinating and irritation. Men on the other hand suffers much symptoms frequent urination, blood in the urine, stinging seensation during urination and a pus like discharge. In chlamydia, women experience pain and sometimes bleed after intercourse. Men suffers from burning sensation after urination and pain on the testicles

My boyfriend has a problem. sometimes after he ejaculates he gets a really bad stomach and back ache he said its like being kicked in the testicles. I told him to ask his doctor about it so he did and he said he had prostatitis, but he didn't suggest anything to treat it besides a warm bath, I googled it and he doesn't have most of the symptoms they list and it only happens about once a month but I feel bad and I need to know how I can help. thank you

Now that sexually transmitted diseases have become socommon, anybody can get infected with it. it does not choose any age or gender.As long as one had sesual acitivities, then he or she may contract an STD atsome point in his or her life. one may even be at a higher risk if he or she issexually active, has multiple sex partners and does nto use condoms asprotection during sexual activities.

Women may have a way to easily detect STD infection. Mostwomen undergo a regular Pap smear screening or if a woman is pregnant, thetests given to her will also detect infection. on the other hand, men do nothave screenings for their reproductive health and they are not even advised todo so. This is why it is difficult to check if a man is infected with asexually transmitted disease or not. but, if you know that your sexualactivities may put you at risk from infection, then it is better to voluntarilytake an STD test.

If symptoms have showed up like sores and lesions on themale genitalia, testicles, and anus or even on the thighs, one needs to have itexamined by a doctor immediately. These are signs that there is something wrongwith his health. it may or may not be STD infection, but the important thing isyou had your medical condition be monitored for your own safety.

Even men may feel some trauma if they ever get tested withSTD. Most people feel fear because of what others may think of them and fear ofwhat the results may be. STD testing should not be taken as something to befrightened of; it is something that you owe to your self. it can definitelysave lives. If a disease is detected early, treatment may also be given at itsearliest time and it can prevent further health damages to the patient.

Some health complications brought about by STDs are cancers,reproductive health problems, infertility, pnemonia, hepatitis and evendeath.  it is best if sexually active men would take regular STD testingto ensure health safety. STD testing for men will be the same as with any otherlocal STD testing. it will consist of consultation, physical examination,laboratory testing and counseling. some STDs may require blood or urine samplesfrom the patient. And others will have to undergo genital screening. Testingand treatment will all depend on the disease that has been contracted.

Local STD testing is done in any health sites like localhospitals or health clinics. a more private STD testing may be done in an STDtesting clinic where treatment and counseling are also offered. Once diagnosedwith STD, the patient will then undergo treatment. The medications given willdepend on the type of disease. If the disease is curable, antibiotics areusually prescribed. If it is incurable, antiviral medications will be given.Also, the period of time of the treatment will depend on the severity of thedisease.

Remember that if a disease is not detected right away, thepatient will not get the immediate treatment he or she needs. You know yourselfwell, if you think that you might be a candidate for being infected with STD,then make your move to take the test. it can save your life.
