The discharge caused by chlamydia is usually yellowish or even brownish in color and can have a very strong or even a foul smell in some women. It’s different from the smell of bacterial vaginosis which has a fishy odor. But either way, if you notice a strong odor and an abnormal discharge, you should definitely go to your doctor.
Swelling of the Testicles
In men, the infection can easily spread to the testicles if left untreated. This can sometimes result in swollen testicles as the epididymis or a small tube at the back of the testicles gets inflamed. This can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. In the long run, studies show that this may be a factor in male infertility.
Vaginal Bleeding
Another possible sign of chlamydia is vaginal bleeding that’s not related with the woman’s period. This happens because the infection may have affected the fallopian tubes,the uterus, and cervix which then cause bleeding. The bleeding is similar to spotting, and can also sometimes happen during intercourse.
