| | In men, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: a painful or burning sensation when urinating, an unusual discharge from the penis, swollen or tender testicles, or fever. | | | Chlamydia causes 250,000 to 500,000 cases of PID every year in the U.S. In women, chlamydia may not cause any symptoms, but symptoms that may occur include: unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain in the abdomen, painful sexual intercourse, fever, painful urination or the urge to urinate more frequently than usual. | | | Because chlamydia is so common and because it often doesn't produce symptoms, it is especially important to take precautions against sexually transmitted infections by practicing safer sex. |
