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.
Throat
Gonococcal infections in the throat can lead to swollen tonsils and sometimes white spots on the tonsils.
