Signs and Symptoms of Chlamydia Infection

Diseases and Conditions

How To Tell If It’s Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a very sneaky infection, as sometimes there might be no symptoms at all. They tend to be very mild or can easily be mistaken for something else. If any symptoms are showing, it is most likely that they will appear 2-3 weeks after exposure.

A pretty likely and common scenario is experiencing symptoms only for a couple of days and then the infection seemingly disappears. That’s why it`s so important to get tested: lack of symptoms doesn’t mean the infection is not there. It is possible to feel absolutely fine, yet unknowingly spread the infection.
