A Quick and Easy Guide to Chlamydia Diagnosis

Chlamydia Treatment is the most frequently reported STD out there, with more than a million new infections in America annually according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Caused by the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis, it infects the cervix in women and the urethra and rectum in both men and women (though sometimes it will show up elsewhere, like the throat or eyes). Because it's often asymptomatic, chlamydia testing is paramount for all sexually active persons, especially for women under the age of 26; doctors recommend yearly testing for them. Fortunately, chlamydia falls squarely under the "curable" category, and timely chlamydia testing can wipe the disease right out with no long-term effects.

Gender Bias

There's no question: chlamydia bacterial infection has a worse rap for women. Up to 75% of infected women will either have no symptoms or symptoms easily mistaken for other ailments (frequent urination, abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, etc.) Moreover, complications for untreated chlamydia are more serious for women, up to and including Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). This can severely damage the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, dramatically increasing the chance of ectopic pregnancy, premature birth, or even infertility. Due to its severity and easily available treatments, women have no excuse not to investigate symptoms should they arise.

For men, on the other hand, chlamydia usually manifests telltale symptoms such as painful or swollen testicles, a cloudy discharge, and pain while urinating. Complications are less common in men and are typically limited to inflammation of the urethra or the testicles. This does not excuse men from seeking chlamydia testing. Every responsible, sexually active adult should take steps to limit exposure and identify troubling symptoms. Keep in mind that chlamydia is known as the "silent disease" for a reason: it often goes completely undetected, even in late stages with considerable reproductive impairment.

Healthcare providers have a couple options when it comes to chlamydia testing. A site-specific swab can harvest samples for laboratory analysis from the urethra (men), cervix (women), or rectum (in the case of receptive anal sex). This type of chlamydia testing is the most reliable and most often administered to women, with results usually arriving within one week. For men, the favored chlamydia test involves a urine sample; these are more effective because the site of infection on a man is usually the urethra, through which urine must pass to produce a sample.

In the laboratory, testing may involve growth cultures, DNA analysis, or antibody detection to acquire a definitive result. New medical technology has produced a rapid urine test for men, providing trustworthy results in one visit within one hour. Expect to see this chlamydia testing option become more widespread as time goes on.

On to Treatment!

Once a positive diagnosis is verified, treatment is relatively easy and predictable. Antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline are prescribed, with the course of treatment lasting up to one week. It's important to notify your doctor if you have any medical allergies or if you are pregnant-this will provide crucial information to determine the course of treatment, including the choice of antibiotics. Be fastidious about taking antibiotic tablets, because an interrupted course of treatment usually means you have to start over.

Of course, no sexual intercourse of any type should take place between chlamydia testing and the completion of the antibiotic cycle. It is highly recommended that all sexual partners from the last 60 days also seek chlamydia testing, advising, and treatment. Otherwise, re-infection becomes likely, with dire reproductive health consequences. Anyone receiving treatment for chlamydia should follow up 3 months later with another chlamydia testing procedure to make sure the treatment was effective.

There is a case in here, a woman goes to have a new coil fitted and tested positive for Chlamydia Treatment, but she have only had sex with her husband for the last 20 years.

Her husband also says he's not had sex with anybody else for the last 20 years. However they should both have a proof of cure test to be safe. Is this possible - can it stay dormant for this long? Also, if a person (male or female) has chlamydia that is dormant, is it possible for them to have regular intercourse with a partner, and not transmit it to them while it is dormant? Now the patients are willing to take herbal medicine treatment. For a couple, what they really need is no Chlamydia Infection.

If a woman who diagnosed with Chlamydia, there is common procedure, and she takes the Azithromycin that she is given, and go back for another check a couple of weeks later, because she may still getting symptoms. The second set of swabs showed that she still had Chlamydia, and is this time given a 7 day course of Doxycycline to take.

About 2 weeks after this, she is hospitalised for severe abdominal pain, leaving her curled up in a ball on the ground wailing. More swabs are taken, and the cause of the pain is Chlamydia (attacking fallopian tubes), which has not been cured by the Azithromycin or the Doxycycline. The Doctor at A&E gave her Metronidazole (14 Days), Doxycycline (10 Days) and Amoxicillin (14 Days). She finishes this course of antibiotics about a week and a half ago, and goes in for her final set of swabs today.

Results will be available early next week. Although she has been given pretty hardcore antibiotics, she is not entirely sure that they have worked, and she thinks she might still be Chlamydia positive. Does the Chlamydia have been drug resistant? And if so, how should the Chlamydia treated?

Recently, what patients focus on is that it is possible for antibiotics to fail to remove Chlamydia, but transmission rates are very high for Chlamydia. It is more hopeful for herbal medicine treatment to clear Chlamydia, but not send it into a dormant state for 2 to 3 years. Fuyan pill is one of herbal medicines, which has great popularity among the patients. The patients can kill Chlamydia, no dormancy.

Nowadays, maybe there are many people do not know what is Chlamydia Treatment? What is the risk of Chlamydia for our bodies? How to treat diseases caused by chlamydia? Perhaps, here can use an example to explain.

Clinical cases, a 43 year old married Chinese Americans a year ago with his girlfriend after the occurrence of sexual relations, and then felt the urethral mouth that is not suitable. In the next one to three weeks, he has a different degree of frequent urination, urgency, dysuria and other symptoms. Finally go to the hospital to check, only to know that Chlamydia infection caused by chronic prostatitis. The doctor suggested that the examination of the situation by Chlamydia Infection, you can use Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill.

What is chlamydia? What's the relationship between Chlamydia and prostatitis? In fact, chlamydia is a kind of microorganism which is not only different from the bacteria, but also different from the virus. Gram negative pathogens, the spread of a wide range of natural. There are many prostatitis causes, but now, in most cases, young people are infected with Chlamydia.

As is known to all, there are many reasons for causing prostatitis, such as unreasonable diet, excessive masturbation, frequent sexual life and so on. Of course, through the above introduction, we can know that sexual intercourse is the most important. However, in patients with prostatitis, there is a large part of them are caused by Non gonococcal urethritis. More than ninety percent of the transmission channels are sexual contact for Non gonococcal urethritis.

Recently, according to the introduction of foreign information, there is 20% to 30% of infertility that is caused by Chlamydia infection. From this, we must do a good job in preparation for prevention, but also to find the economic and effective treatment. Fortunately, Chlamydia is easy to treat. The oral antibiotics are usually prescribed by your doctor, like Azithromycin and Doxycycline. However, antibiotics can't relieve all the symptoms and can even cause drug resistance. Thus, herbal medicine treatment may be a good option, like Diuretic and ant-inflammatory pill, which is made from Chinese herbs without any side effects and drug resistance.

Although herbal medicine treatment for prostatitis caused by Chlamydia is very helpful, Diuretic anti-inflammatory pill is also a very good choice, but please remember not to have sex in the time of treatment.

What Is The Diagnosis of Chlamydia Infection in Men

As a general rule, Chlamydia Treatment is a group of infectious diseases caused by Chlamydia infection. A variety of diseases may be caused by it, such as : Animal and human uterine infection, premature birth, abortion, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, enteritis, cerebral spinal cord inflammation, conjunctivitis, arthritis etc.

Chlamydia Infection has been associated with chronic diseases in human being. The major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia is greatly correlated with its outer member structure stability, metabolic regulation and virulence. Both males and females may have this disease without having any symptoms. As a result, you may become infected or pass the infection to your partner without knowing it. Consequently, we should pay more attention to recognizing the signs and symptoms of Chlamydia infection.

When genitourinary tract with Chlamydia infection, it will cause the disease of male non gonococcal urethritis and women are the ones mainly for non gonococcal genitourinary tract inflammation. However, did you know that this disease still can influence the male infertility. Chlamydia infection in males is an infection of the urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder and passes through the penis). The male will have some symptoms,such as urethral itchy, burning and dysuria, a few have frequent micturition. Urethral mouth light is red and secretion is thin; partial patient has no symptom. This type of transmitted disease is passed from one person to another during the sexual contact.

Many people still don't notice the symptoms of Chlamydia infection. If symptoms do appear, it's usually one to three weeks after you have been infected. As for male, in addition to the symptoms described above, some of the most common symptoms also include: one, burning sensation during urination; two, discharge from the penis or vagina (yellow or green); three, pain in lower abdomen; four, pain in the testicles; five, painful sexual intercourse in women. Through all this, you can know that this disease would make a big influence in testicles and may lead to male infertility. So testing Chlamydia can play an important role in treating this disease.

Chlamydia infection is tested either by taking a urine sample or with a vaginal swab. In general, it is treated with oral medications and certain precautions. There are three methods can test Chlamydia infection, include: One ,antigen testing, such as slide review and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay; two, nucleic acid detection; three, antibody detection.

Chlamydia infection can be treated with a variety of antibiotics. But , no matter which antibiotic you are given, you will need to follow the dosage instructions carefully to make sure the infection clears up fully. This can take up to two weeks, even with the single-dose medicines. Don't have sex during the treatment time. Unfortunately, you can get chlamydia infection again if you're exposed, even if you've had it and it was treated. Accordingly, some doctors recommend the Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill for the patients with Chlamydia infection. However, in my view, prevention is more effective than cure.

New study suggests STD chlamydia frequently exchanges DNA to new strains

The bacteria that cause Chlamydia Treatment, the world's most common sexually transmitted disease, seems to be sneakier than once thought, as a new study suggests it frequently exchanges DNA between different strains to form entirely new strains.

Chlaymydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, and though its symptoms are often mild, the sexually transmitted disease can cause infertility in women and a discharge from the penis of an infected man. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the world, including in the U.S. where more than 1.3 million cases were reported in 2010. About 100 million cases of chlamydia are reported each year across the globe.

Scientists know there are two groups of Chlamydia Cure, one that seems to infect the eyes and urinary-genital areas, and another set known to spread through the lymphatic system, which is important to the body's immune system. Currently, an epidemic of the lymphatic types is progressing in Europe and North America, particularly in men who have sex with men, the researchers note online on March 11 in the journal Nature Genetics.

However, little is known about how these different strains evolve and emerge.

"Scientists recently discovered that if two chlamydia strains co-infect the same person at the same time, they can swap DNA by a process called recombination," lead researcher Dr. Simon Harris, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said in a statement.

To find out how widespread this swapping is, Harris and colleagues compared the genome sequences of 53 strains of C. trachomatis, which were isolated from epidemics that occurred between 1959 and 2009; the strains were meant to represent the diversity of chlamydia seen in clinical settings. Results showed that even when the Chlamydia strains had infected different parts of the body, they could still swap DNA with each other, leading to new strains.

Recombination "was originally thought only to affect a few 'hotspots' within the genome," Harris said. "We were very surprised to find recombination is far more widespread than previously thought."

The results have implications for how the STD is diagnosed. Currently, doctors use a test that returns a positive or negative for chlamydia infections, without any information on the particular strain. That means doctors can't tell, say, if a person who tests positive again after being treated with antibiotics has picked up a second strain of chlamydia or if their treatment has failed.

While antibiotic-resistant chlamydia has not been seen in patients, it does occur in the lab. If it did occur in the general population, current tests would not detect it.

"Until now a person treated with antibiotics with a reoccurring infection of C. trachomatis was assumed to have been re-infected," study researcher Dr. Nicholas Thomson, also of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said in a statement. "The current gaps in our understanding of the population makeup of chlamydia limit our ability to implement health policies, because we do not fully understand how chlamydia spreads within our population."

The scientists are now working with hospitals to bring technologies for whole-genome sequencing into clinical settings.
