What is Chlamydia?

Like gonorrhea, chlamydia infections primarily affect the urethra in men and the cervix in women---major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease


Men who do experience symptoms typically experience watery or milky discharge from the urethra as well as painful urination. In addition, chlamydia may cause the testicles to become swollen causing irritation.

Women may also experience symptoms such as discomfort when urinating which becomes more frequent as the condition develops

(LGV) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis >>serotypes L1, L2 and L3>>>primry lesion and secondary lesion
other manifestation.
Esthiomene (Greek, "eating away") is a primary infection of the lymphatics of the external genitalia and may cause chronic pregressive lymphangitis, chronic edema, and sclerosing fibrosis of the subcutaneous tissue of these structures.
