What Are The Symptoms Indicating Chlamydia?
Hi,I ve been diagnosed with Chlamydia. The nurse told me that my blood test shows that I have a 1.7, but that it has never been introduced into my system before. How can that be if I have it now? Does it mean that I have never had it before now? Does it mean it is a recent infection? I ve never been tested for it before, could I have had it all along and this is a flare up? She had me also do the urine test to see if it is a false positive. But I am scared and confused.

Chlamydia usually has no symptoms.
Chlamydia can be sneaky, because you probably won’t have any symptoms you can see or feel. Sometimes the signs of chlamydia are so mild that people don’t notice them, or they mistake the symptoms for something else. Most of the time, people don’t even realize they have chlamydia — that’s part of the reason it’s such a common infection (and why it’s so important to get tested).
Chlamydia can lead to serious infections and even infertility if you don’t treat it. But it’s usually easy to cure it with medicine if you catch it early. This is why regular STD testing is so important, no matter how healthy you feel.
Signs of chlamydia
If you do have chlamydia symptoms, they can take several weeks after you got the infection to show up. Symptoms of chlamydia can appear in both men and women, including:
pain or burning while peeing
pain during sex
lower belly pain
abnormal vaginal discharge (may be yellowish and have a strong smell)
bleeding between periods
pus or a watery/milky discharge from the penis
swollen or tender testicles
pain, discharge and/or bleeding around the anus
If you or your partner has any of these symptoms, go to a nurse, doctor,
You please let them do all the evaluation and investigations so that proper management can be done
