  • In women, chlamydia most commonly causes an infection of the cervix or the urethra.
  • Symptoms for women can sometimes be mild and not very specific. Symptoms may include increased vaginal discharge, abnormal menstrual bleeding, painful sexual intercourse, or burning with urination.
  • Three-quarters of all women with chlamydia have no symptoms at all.
  • If not treated, chlamydia can cause significant complications (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy).
