What are the symptoms of chlamydia in children?
In babies who get chlamydia after birth to infected mothers, babies may have conjuncitivitis (pinkeye) that shows up after a week or so. Those with pneumonia caused by chlamydia trachomatis can have a cough, rapid breathing, and abnormal x-ray. Children with chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia appear to be more likely to have asthma later in life. Children who get chlamydia from sexual abuse have the same types of symptoms, or, more commonly, lack of symptoms, as adults with chlamydia.
How long can you have chlamydia without having symptoms?
Studies show that adults can have chlamydia for years without any symptoms. It is possible to have a long-term infection without getting pain or discharge. In women, the rate of chlamydia without symptoms may be as high as 70%. It is believed that at least 50% of men with chlamydia may have no symptoms.A baby who gets chlamydia from the mother during birth can also have chlamydia for years without symptoms.But the infection is not "dormant", it can cause damage even without causing symptoms. Women who are later diagnosed with tubal infertility or ectopic pregnancy are three times more likely to have antibodies showing prior exposure to chlamydia, which suggests that they may have had damage to the tubes without having symptoms of pain.It is possible, but usually the symptoms will show up within several weeks.Virtually, this is highly unlikely.
What is clitmitya?
After a person is infected with the bacteria that cause chlamydia, symptoms typically appear within one to three weeks. Early symptoms of the disease include abnormal discharge from the vagina or penis and pain while urinating. If the infection is left untreated, it may spread to other areas in the body. Later chlamydia symptoms include pelvic inflammatory disease (in women) and epididymitis (in men). Not everyone with the infection experiences symptoms, which can make early diagnosis of the disease difficult.
Can a female get chlamydia and what are the symptons?
Yes, a female can get chlamydia. 80-90% of females with chlamydia have no symptoms at all; in those who get symptoms, they may have unusual vaginal discharge, painful urination, painful sex, or bleeding between periods or after sex.
Is chlamydia related to asthma?
Babies born with chlamydia that affects the lungs are more likely to have asthma later in life.
What if your partner says he didnt come in you but weeks later youre having pregnancy symptoms... Could I be pregnant?
He probably came in you, go buy a pregnancy test.
Can chlamydia be mistaken for another problem?
When chlamydia is diagnosed by laboratory testing, rather than a clinical diagnosis, it is not likely to be a mistaken diagnosis. Mistakes occur when health care providers don't think about chlamydia when seeing someone with painful urination. It's not unusual for a patient to be treated for a UTI without testing, get only partial relief, and then later find out she has chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis.
What are the symptoms of chlamydia and how do you prevent it?
Most people (80-90% of women and half of men) have no symptoms of chlamydia. If a person does have symptoms, they might have burning with urination, discharge, pelvic pain, or scrotal pain. You can reduce the risk of chlamydia by getting tested before exchanging body fluids with a sex partner, and by using condoms regularly. Abstaining from oral, anal, and vaginal sex, genital-genital contact, and sharing sex toys can prevent all cases of chlamydia.
What's Chlamydia?
Chlamydia can refer to a particular group of bacteria which cause a variety of diseases (see related question "What are chlamydiae?"), but usually chlamydia refers to the sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis.Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease affecting 1.4 million Americans each year. Many men and 80-90% of women with chlamydia have no symptoms. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, the infection can cause serious complications including irreversible damage that can make it hard to get pregnant later. These complications can can occur "silently" before a patient ever recognizes a problem.Symptoms in men can include painful urination and discharge from the penis. In women, there could be painful urination, an unusual vaginal discharge, bleeding after sex or between periods, or abdominal pain.Only a health care provider can diagnose chlamydia (through laboratory tests). Laboratory testing is especially important, since the symptoms of chlamydia, if there are any at all, closely resemble those of other STDs (like gonorrhea), and those of other types of infections (like urinary tract infections).Chlamydia testing is painless, and can be done on a urine sample. Chlamydia is curable with certain types of antibiotics. There is no immunity against chlamydia, so you can get this infection again and again if re-exposed.If you think you have a sexually transmitted disease, contact your health care provider or a local health clinic.
Does chlamydia have symptoms?
Chlamydia in MenAbsolutely. Actually, a good percentage of men can be positive for this bacteria without ever knowing...until a female partner comes up positive. Females can even have this particular bacteria for a long time before showing any symptoms. As far as men are concerned, the bacteria can be completely silent. Some men do have symptoms, but definitely not all. I hope this helps you.As an addendum to the above, chlamydia is estimated to be asymptomatic in up to 75% of women and 50% of men. It does not, to my knowledge, simply go away without treatment. In other words, you can be asymptomatic for months, even years, and continue to spread the disease to others. Often times, when symptoms do come about, they are symptoms of complications of the disease. In women, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease may develop as a result of chlamydia. In men, epidydimtis may develop. Men may also develop prostatitis, though this is somewhat controversial because it often times is not an infection of the prostate, but rather the urethral pathway that passes through the prostate that becomes infected. In either case, infertility is the end result if treatment isn't sought.20% to 30% of patients infected with chlamydia are also infected with gonorrhea, so I would recommend you get tested for both. Gonorrhea, unlike chlamydia, is usually symptomatic in men, though initially the symptoms are usually so mild that they go unnoticed.Don't be ashamed to get tested for chlamydia. For men, testing involves a urine sample. Be sure to avoid urinating at least two hourse beforehand to ensure full accuracy, and catch the first part of the urine stream. In the event that you are infected, both you and your partner need to be treated at the same time, otherwise the infection may bounce back and forth between the two of you, causing chronic reinfection. It would also be a good idea to inform past sexual partners, as well. When telling your partner that you are infected, honesty is the best policy. It will go a long way in relieving their fear and doubt, and it goes a long way in establishing trust between you and your partner. If you find it difficult to explain to your partner, I'm sure your physician would be more than happy to talk with your partner and/or to provide sources of information. Getting treated for an STI is not about placing blame or putting someone on trial. It's about ensuring the physical well-being of everyone involved, as well as their emotional and mental well-being.You may want to consider being restested 3 or 4 months after treatment. Testing before this will only give you inaccurate results. 3 to 4 weeks after treatment, you will test positive, but this doesn't necessarily mean you are still infected. Between one and three months, you may get false negatives, meaning you are actually still infected, but the test isn't picking it up.The only way to absolutely ensure that you do not get chlamydia is to avoid sexual contact. In other words abstinence. In cased where abstinence is not possible, having a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship will ensure that chlamydia is not spread further. If you are not in either of these categories, you should use a latex or polyurethane condom correctly and cosistently. It is important to remember that although condoms reduce the transmission of most STIs dramatically, including chlamydia, they are NOT 100% effective.Yes, it is possible.

How do chlamydia and yeast infection get misdiagnosed?
It's hard to imagine who chlamydia and yeast infection could be confused. Yeast and chlamydia are very different organisms. They may occur together, leading yeast to be diagnosed clinically or via microscopic examination of vaginal discharge, and chlamydia later being reported positive from specific chlamydia testing. Sometimes patients mistake this chain of events to mean that the yeast infection diagnosis was incorrect.
