what are some of the symptoms of chlamydia?

Unfortunately, chlamydia often doesn't show symptoms. She just needs to get tested.

Your friend should tell the doctor she would like to get tested for chlamydia. This is usually done with a simple swab test during a pap test.

There are usually no symptoms in females.

It is bacterial, not viral, so easy to clear up with some medication.

Sometimes (often) there are no symptoms at all untill she tries to have children and discovers that she has been made infertile by Chlamydia.

She MUST get a test and be sure otherwise it could damage her chances of ever having children and increase her risk of cervical cancer. It can be done anonymously I'm sure. Where I worked we used to put numbers not names on the specimens and so even we (the lab workers) didn't know the names of the people who were getting tested.

I used to work in a OBGYN office and believe it or not there are really no signs of the infection. Thats why they call it silence and the only way to detect it is to have a pap done. Don't worry they have come so far with meds these days, you only have to take a pill for 2 days and it's gone. Hope its not you, but if it is good luck :)

No symptoms!!! get tested immediatley...

"your friend" right, anyway go to a doctor.
