Occasionally chlamydia can also affect other parts of the body, including the throat and eyes.<\/p>\n
Chlamydia often has no symptoms, especially among women. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious problems later in life.<\/p>\n
Chlamydia symptoms usually appear between 1 and 3 weeks after exposure but may not emerge until much later. Chlamydia is known as the \u2018silent\u2019 disease as in many people it produces no symptoms. It is estimated that 70-75% of women infected with chlamydia are asymptomatic(have no symptoms) and a significant proportion of men also have no symptoms.<\/p>\n
