How do you know if you have chlyamidia?



Answers:
SYMPTOMS
Chlamydia bacteria live in vaginal fluid and in semen. About 70 percent of chlamydial infections have no symptoms, thereby naming it the "silent" disease. Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after you are infected. Those who do have symptoms may have an abnormal discharge (mucus or pus) from the vagina or penis or experience pain while urinating. These early symptoms may be very mild.
The bacterial infection may move inside your body if it is not treated.


In women, bacteria can infect the cervix and urinary tract in women. If the bacteria move into the fallopian tubes, they can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) .

In men, bacteria can infect the urinary tract and the epididymis, causing epididymitis (inflammation of the reproductive area near the testicles).
PID and epididymitis are both very serious illnesses.

C. trachomatis also can cause inflammation of your rectum and lining of your eye (conjunctivitis or "pink eye"). The bacteria also can infect your throat if you have oral sexual contact with an infected partner.
You can't tell on your own. You need to see a doctor and they will do a test to make that determination.
You go to the doctor and get tested. One strong dose of anitbiotics wipes it out. No worries.
i hurts to pee , go see a doctor this can be very serious

you will never know unless you go to the doctor but you could have a nasty yellow discharge and odor and eventually it can spread through your body and hurt you worse. i no a girl that had it so long it spread to her eyes and she had crap coming out of here eyes. just please go to the doctor and have your partner go to and think about using condoms
I know I don't.
If you are a **.
Get tested. If you suspect you may have contracted something there is no point in waiting to see if symptoms develop. The sooner you find out the better, from both a medical and an emotional standpoint.
