from
Wikipedia
Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal childbirth.
Between half and three-quarters of all women who have a chlamydia infection of the cervix ( cervicitis ) have no symptoms and do not know that they are infected.
In men, infection of the urethra ( urethritis ) is usually symptomatic, causing a white discharge from the penis with or without pain on urinating ( dysuria ).
Occasionally, the condition spreads to the upper genital tract in women ( causing pelvic inflammatory disease ) or to the epididymis in men ( causing epididymitis ).
If untreated, chlamydial infections can cause serious reproductive and other health problems with both short-term and long-term consequences.
