4. Pain and swelling around testicles in men
Another reported and documented symptom of chlamydia is pain and swelling around the testicles. Since men tend to notice what is going around there quite acutely, they should pick up on this one, assuming the bacterial infection decides to manifest itself in that particular way in that particular person.
I realize it is a bit hit or miss, but… the more information you have, the better prepared you will be to deal with such a wild turn of events. Pain meds will do no long-term good, you must get tested for STD’s if you have this symptom. As with the other symptoms, intercourse should cease until the investigation (and possible treatment) is complete. Not that sex would be all that great in this condition anyway, but… the threat of the spread of the infection is really what we are after here.
