Recognize the Symptoms of Chlamydia in Men
Chlamydia affects nearly four million people in the United States each year. Around the world, even greater numbers routinely come down with this extremely common sexually transmitted disease. Chlamydia often produces differing symptoms in men and women. It pays to know the symptoms your own gender may experience.
Instructions
Recognize the Symptoms of Chlamydia in Men
1. Take your temperature if you seem to have a fever. Fever is often present in active chlamydia infections. However, since fever is associated with so many other conditions, you should be on the lookout for other chlamydia symptoms as well.
2. Take note if you experience a burning or stinging sensation when you urinate. This is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of chlamydia.
3. Recognize any unusual discharge coming out of your ****. Discharge that is runny, cloudy, a strange color or that smells bad is a typical symptom of chlamydia in men.
4. Know that if your testicles become swollen and/or painful, you may have chlamydia. This symptom usually appears in the mid to later stages of chlamydia.
5. Be aware that oral chlamydia can result in a sore throat and anal chlamydia can cause swelling of the rectum.
6. Know when you last had sexual intercourse. Symptoms of chlamydia usually begin to appear within 1 to 3 weeks of having sex with an infected partner.
