Could a female show symptoms of chlamydia and male not?
Yes, it is possible for a female to show symptoms of chlamydia while the male does not. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. In women, chlamydia can cause a range of symptoms including:
* Pelvic pain
* Lower abdominal pain
* Painful or burning urination
* Bleeding between periods
* Abnormal vaginal discharge
* Fever
* Nausea
* Vomiting
In men, chlamydia can cause symptoms such as:
* Painful or burning urination
* Discharge from the penis
* Pain or swelling in the testicles
* Fever
* Headache
* Joint pain
However, it is important to note that chlamydia can also be asymptomatic in both men and women. This means that they may not experience any symptoms of the infection, even though they are still infected. This is why it is important to get tested for chlamydia if you have any concerns about being infected, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms.
