This can be a STD.: Chlamydia can be a sexually transmitted bacteria, especially c. Trachomatis. If untreated, it can result in epididymitis, urethritis, and lymphogranuloma venereum. Treatment is with Doxycycline or tetracycline. Other kinds of chlamydiae are c. Psitticosis, from parrots, and c. Pneumoniae from other people infecting the lungs. Get to your doctor and get treated fast, and tell partner if std.

See your doctor and get treated fast and tell your partner if is an std.
