Occasionally chlamydia can also affect other parts of the body, including the throat and eyes. Chlamydia often has no symptoms, especially among women.
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis can have very similar symptoms.
Chlamydia screening means testing for chlamydia in a person without symptoms.

Yes, that's possible. 80-90% of females and many males have no symptoms of chlamydia.
Like other females, 80-90% of females with a hysterectomy will have no symptoms from chlamydia. If a woman with a total hysterectomy has chlamydia, she may be infected in the urethra and may have painful urination.
Chlamydia signs and symptoms are the same for circumcised and uncircumcised males. Half of males get no symptoms from chlamydia. For those who get symptoms, they may be: 1. A discharge from the penis; 2. A burning sensation and/or pain when passing urine; 3. Pain and swelling in the testicles.
Chlamydia may cause painful urination, as well as pelvic, scrotal, eye, or mild throat pain. Most people get no symptoms, though.
Acute symptoms of chlamydia in females will go away within a couple of weeks of completing treatment. If chlamydia cause caused scarring and damage via PID, symptoms may be chronic and lifelong.
