\"Chlamydia<\/p>\n

It’s not only women that are affected by chlamydia. Men can contract the disease too.<\/p>\n

Chlamydia in men can cause some notable symptoms, including burning during urination, a discharge from the penis and, though much less likely, testicular swelling.<\/p>\n

However, many male sufferers lack obvious symptoms. Or, the symptoms can take weeks to manifest, during which time the disease may have be passed on to a partner, or have already wrecked in the host-body.<\/p>\n

When the disease goes unchecked, it can travel up the male urethra, infecting the prostate and other organs.<\/p>\n

When this happens the male sufferer can experience chlamydia-induced erectile dysfunction, a condition often brought about other physical and mental conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart, or kidney disease and anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

Fortunately treatment for it is possible. Testing is painless and reasonably quick, involving a swab to the genital area, or a urine test.<\/p>\n
