5. Eye Irritation
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease, but it can also affect other parts of the body at the same time – and the amount of things it can affect is pretty surprising to most people. The majority of people are on the lookout for genital-related symptoms in relation to chlamydia infection, but there are some symptoms that might show at the same time (and might even show earlier) that could also help to point you towards what could be wrong with your body.
Eye irritation can be a common sign and symptom of a chlamydia infection. The infection itself can have a very full-bodied effect, and this can travel to various parts of the body where it can cause various types of discomfort and inflammation that one wouldn’t initially imagine could be related to the same cause.
If you experience eye irritation that turns into a chronic problem, see your doctor for tests. No, it might not be an STD depending on the symptoms you experience, but wouldn’t it be safer to know what’s wrong?
