The Symptoms of Chlamydia

Many people have no obvious Chlamydia symptoms. However, 25% of women (1 in 4) and 50% of men (half) do develop symptoms which can show 1-3 weeks after coming into contact with Chlamydia or sometimes many months later. It's important to get screened, even if you feel fine and have no symptoms - just to make sure.

If you do get Chlamydia symptoms you might notice:

In women

• unusual vaginal discharge
• pain and/or burning when peeing
• pain during and/or after sex
• bleeding after sex or between periods
• lower abdominal pain (pain in the lower belly)

In men

• a discharge from the tip of the penis
• pain and/or burning when weeing
• irritation at the tip of the penis
• painful swelling of the testicles
