10 Chlamydia Symptoms

Symptom #4: Swelling of the Genital Area
Also common for both genders infected with Chlamydia is swelling around the groin. Swelling of the testicles may occur in affected men, although in very rare cases. The swelling is a reaction to the inflammation and occurs internally. It is at around three to four weeks after being infected with the bacteria that the swelling starts to show and may be noticed by the infected person.
This is because at this stage, the infection reaches the lymphatic glands in the groin. These swellings may turn to abscesses with the above mentioned strong odor discharge. The swelling goes away once the cause is treated properly.
