EFFECTS AND SYMPTOMS OF CHLAMYDIA

The effect of Chlamydia or gonorrhea is inflammation of urethritis in women and tip of penis in men. It can be without any discharge or with clear discharge in Chlamydia and white discharge in gonorrhea. In women the inflammation may also be caused by Trichomonas Vaginalis and the urethritis tend to be softer in Chlamydia than when infected with gonorrhea where the affected part is covered with rashes and heat bumps. Men also not only suffer from inflammation of penis and but also swelling of testicles with accompanying pain.

Chlamydia may turn men or women sterile because of the internal injuries caused by swelling of internal organs. Chlamydia does not show any external signs physically except for swelling and redness of the affected areas of the urethritis and penis as the case may be. That is why it is difficult to tell that a person has been affected by Chlamydia.
