Question
If you are infected with chlamydia and you had a burning sensation after urination and frequent urination wouldn't there be a discharge from the penis also?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Usually, yes. But not necessarily in every case. By the way, burning urination is a common symptom of urethritis in men, but frequent urination typically is not.
I wish more questions were so brief and straightforward. Thanks!

Dr. H. when you say usually what percentage would you put to it.
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Sorry, more precise data are not available. Among all men with chlamdyia, probably 60% have symptoms and around 40% have nothing noticibly wrong. Of the 60% with symptoms, I would guess that 90% have discharge. But it's only an educated guess.
