Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted bacterium. It can cause sterility in women and men. In women, it infects the cervix and can spread to the urethra, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It can cause bladder infections and serious pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and sterility. In men, chlamydia infects the urethra and may spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility.
Chlamydia can also lead to reactive arthritis - especially in young men. One in three men who develop reactive arthritis become permanently disabled. In infants, chlamydia can cause pneumonia, eye infections, and blindness. Chlamydia is the most common and most invisible sexually transmitted bacterial infection in America. At least three million American men and women become infected every year.
Common symptoms:
discharge from the penis or vagina
pain or burning while urinating, frequent urination
excessive vaginal bleeding
painful intercourse for women
spotting between periods or after intercourse
abdominal pain, nausea, fever
inflammation of the rectum or cervix
swelling or pain in the testicles
Symptoms appear in seven to 21 days - if they appear. If your partner is a man, and he has a urinary tract infections, you may have chlamydia.
Seventy-five percent of women and 50 percent of men with chlamydia have no symptoms. Many women discover they have chlamydia only because their partners are found to be infected. Other women discover that they must have had it for some time when they are treated for the infertility that it can cause.
How chlamydia is spread:
vaginal and anal intercourse
from the birth canal to the fetus
rarely, from the hand to the eye
Diagnosis:
Can be confused with gonorrhea and other conditions. Examination of tissue samples or urine is necessary for correct diagnosis.
Treatment
Both partners can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Follow-up testing may be suggested three to four months after treatment.
Protection:
Condoms reduce the risk of infection with chlamydia.
