What are the symptoms of
chlamydia?
Chlamydia doesn't usually cause any
symptoms. So you may not realize that
you have it. People with chlamydia
who have no symptoms can still pass
the disease to others. If you do have
symptoms, they may not appear until
several weeks after you have sex with
an infected partner.
Symptoms in women include:
If the chlamydia infects the rectum (in men or women), it can cause
rectal pain, discharge, and/or bleeding
How is chlamydia diagnosed?
To prevent spreading the disease to your partner, you should not have
sex until the infection has cleared up. If you got a one-time dose of
antibiotics, you should wait 7 days after taking the medicine to have sex
again. If you have to take medicine every day for 7 days, you should not
have sex again until you have finished taking all of the doses of your
medicine.
