What are facts about Chlamydia STD infections in male genitalia?

Answer 1

In men, chlamydia can lead to painful inflammation of the testicles, which may result in reduced fertility or sterility; and also occasionally Reiter's syndrome, which is inflammation of the joints, urethra and eyes.

Answer 2

• Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STD. Not all STDs are reportable, though, so some non-reportable ones (like herpes or HPV) may be more common.
• Most women with chlamydia have no symptoms of the disease.
• Annual chlamydia testing is recommended for women under age 26; however, many health care providers don't provide this testing as recommended.
• Alaska has the highest per capita chlamydia rate in the US; New Hampshire has the lowest.
• Females in 2011 were 2.5 times more likely to have a reported case of chlamydia than males, which probably reflects better screening in females.
• Non-invasive testing for chlamydia (i.e. testing by urine sample) is safe, effective, and painless.
• Chlamydia can be treated in most cases with a single dose of antibiotics.
