Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because about three quarters of infected women and about half of infected men have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.
In women, the bacteria initially infect the cervix and the urethra (urine canal). Women who have symptoms might have an abnormal vaginal discharge or a burning sensation when urinating. When the infection spreads from the cervix to the fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus), some women still have no signs or symptoms; others have lower abdominal pain, low back pain, nausea, fever, pain during intercourse, or bleeding between menstrual periods. Chlamydial infection of the cervix can spread to the rectum.
Men with signs or symptoms might have a discharge from their penis or a burning sensation when urinating. Men might also have burning and itching around the opening of the penis. Pain and swelling in the testicles are uncommon.
Men or women who have receptive anal intercourse may acquire chlamydial infection in the rectum, which can cause rectal pain, discharge, or bleeding. Chlamydia can also be found in the throats of women and men having oral sex with an infected partner.

The time spans are different for different people. Some may not see symptoms for years , others months, some are just "carriers" and never suffer from the symptoms

It is a yeast infection and they are saying now that a lot of diseases and sickness is caused by underlying yeast infections that people have in their bodies. You can have your blood checked for yeast and be treated by a Dr. which the meds are pretty tough to take for it. Ther is also a naturopathic treatment too. Go to a healthfood store and ask about it or go to Nutrition Express website and type in yeast infection cure or order the catalog. they should have something. also, they use oregano oil to treat it, I do not know the amounts or the time on that cure. Good luck.

Years in some cases. If you're in doubt, get tested.
