CLAMIDIOSIS
Clamidiosis is a disease, caused by Chlamydia bacteria. Nowadays we know several types of Chlamydia, but the most frequent is Chlamydia trachomatis, which affects genital system of both men and women, causing the development of urogenital clamidiosis: cystitis, urethritis, cervicitis, erosion, vulvovaginitis, endometritis, and prostatitis.
Clamidiosis is mostly sexually transmitted. Seldom chlamydiae are also transmitted by contact and social way (via hygiene articles of joint use): there are cases when children of people suffering from clamidiosis also had this disease.
Incubation period of clamidiosis lasts from 1 to 3 weeks. The most typical symptom of genital clamidiosis is appearance of glassy discharge. There may be noted itching or unpleasant feeling at urination, adhesion of urethra lips. Sometimes general state changes – there is weakness, and mild body temperature. These symptoms very often are insignificant and terminate quickly. At the same time clamidiosis becomes chronic.
Chlamydiae are not simply bacteria, they are intracellular parasites. They cannot be found with general smear from genitals. That is why the diagnosis must be done only in the laboratory with the help of special tests.
Treatment of clamidiosis includes antibacterial, immune, polyvitaminic therapy, life-style normalization, diet, abstinence from sex life during treatment period. Treatment should be applied to all sexual partners. At the end of treatment course it is necessary to carry out control analyses.
Clamidiosis is dangerous for its complications. In men chlamydiae may cause chronic prostatitis. In women chlamydia infection often causes extrauterine pregnancy, and endometritis. Pregnancy in clamidiosis patient is often accompanied by complications. In the process of delivery, mother, who is suffering from clamidiosis, may infect her child. In addition to different complications connected with genitals, clamidiosis may cause eye, joint and skin lesions.
It is much easier to prevent clamidiosis than to treat it. The rules of clamidiosis prevention are the same as the rules of prevention of all sexually transmitted diseases. The main rule is the hygiene of sexual life, which will secure against different sexually transmitted diseases:
- permanent sexual partner, who you trust;
- refuse casual sexual affairs or use condom;
- in case of the slightest suspicion of the infection, it is necessary to turn to the doctor.
