    Women and chlamydia

    When women have symptoms, they may experience:

    • Bleeding between menstrual periods;
    • Vaginal bleeding after intercourse;
    • Abdominal pain;
    • Painful intercourse;
    • Low-grade fever;
    • Painful urination;
    • The urge to urinate more than usual;
    • Cervical inflammation;
    • Abnormal vaginal discharge;
    • Mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC) — a yellowish discharge from the cervix that may have a foul odor.

    Recall! 40 - 70 % of infected individuals don't have any symptoms!

    In women and men, chlamydia may cause the rectum to itch and bleed. It can also result in a discharge and diarrhea (proctitis). If it infects the eyes, chlamydia may cause redness, itching, and a discharge.

    There are strains of chlamydia that are responsible for another sexually-transmitted disease, called lymphogranuloma venereum . This disease is seen more commonly in underdeveloped countries but has world-wide distribution. In the United States it is seen more commonly in homosexual men and is a cause of proctitis and colitis (inflammation of the lower intestine).
