Thanks for your query.

 It is true that Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease in US.  It gets easily spread because it often causes no symptoms and may be unknowingly passed to sexual partners. You would be disheartened to know that 75% of infections in women and 50% in men are with symptoms.

Check out Chlamydia symptoms in women written below:

  • Pain during urinating
  • Abnormal vaginal discharge that may have an odor
  • Itching or burning in or around the vagina
  • Bleeding between periods
  • Painful sex
  • Abnormal pain with fever and chills

Chlamydia symptoms in men are also mentioned below- have a look!

  • Pain and swelling around the testicles
  •  Painful urination
  • Small amounts of clear or cloudy discharge from the tip of the penis
  • Burning and itching around the opening of the penis
