Amira, a 20-year-old university student, recently started a new relationship. A few weeks after becoming sexually active with her partner, she begins experiencing unusual vaginal discharge, itching, and mild lower abdominal pain. She feels too embarrassed to seek medical help immediately. After discussing her symptoms with her roommate, she wonders if it might be just a yeast infection and decides to try over-the-counter medication. Two weeks later, the symptoms worsen, and she finally visits a clinic where she is diagnosed with Chlamydia.

What signs and symptoms suggest Amira may have had an STI?

What were the risks of delaying medical treatment in this case?
