Get the Facts About Chlamydia — the "Silent" Infection
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease in the US and affects both women and men.
This infection is not easy to detect since the symptoms are not always obvious. But when they do happen, they’re usually noticeable within one to three weeks of exposure and can include the following:
- Painful urination
- Lower abdominal pain
- Vaginal discharge in women
- Discharge from penis in men
- Painful sexual intercourse in women
- Testicular pain in men
An annual chlamydia screening — done by urine test or pelvic exam — is recommended for all sexually active females age 16 to 24 years old.
