2/3 of women and 1/2 of men who have chlamydia have no symptoms at all; others have symptoms so mild they aren't noticeable.
Some chlamydia symptoms in women are:
* an unusual vaginal discharge
* pain or a burning sensation when passing urine
* bleeding between periods
* pain during sex or bleeding after sex
* low abdominal pain sometimes with nausea
In left untreated chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to:
* ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the womb)
* blocked fallopian tubes (the tubes which carry the egg from the ovaries to the womb), which can result in reduced fertility or infertility
* long-term pelvic pain
* early miscarriage or premature birth

Yes, chlamydia is sneaky. It can cause pelvic inflammatory disease after a while, which can make women sterile (by destroying the ovaries). It can also cause a lot of problems with the fallopian tubes, including ectopic pregnancies, and premature births. It can live in the throat or in the rectum. To the fetus it can cause blindness or pnuemonia. And, there is even a form of chlamydia that you can pick up from a cat's litter box.

If you knew what your goods were doin the whole time... youve always had them with you and you KNOW nothin has been i there without yor knowing.... then your boy has just cheated on.
Fact! he will blame you, or say you cheated on him, only cuz he feels guilty thought, but you need to tell him. You have to have a prescription to get rid of it. But you need to move on, you dont know how many times he has/ or will put your life in danger by being unfaithful. He could have at least used a condom.

Maybe your pregnant! yes you could have chlamydia and not even know it, the damage? well it depends on how long you've had it for, usually if its caught right away nothing will happen but people who had it for a year are longer usually wont be able to have kids the bacteria eats at your fallopian tubes and scares them.

People can get it through infected toilet seats and stuff, but that is very unlikely. Get tested to be sure, you could do well to prevent any further damage to yourself or illness for others if you do have the disease.

Sorry, but it looks as if your boyfriend has been unfaithful. You pick it up by unprotected sex only.

You cannot get chlymida withou having sex but I have heard that you can have it and not know.
