What Is It?

Chlamydia trachomatis, also known as the "chicken-pox of the cervix," is a highly infectious sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can infect the cervix, the urethra, the anus, the vagina and the ureter. Untreated, it can cause serious problems in the reproductive organs and lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can be fatal.

Chlamydia is most commonly spread through sexual intercourse, but it can also be spread by sharing personal items such as towels, clothing, and even towels such as towels used to urinate after intercourse with someone who has it. having it. This is especially the case during times when women are less protected, such as when they use unhygienic toilets or share public showers and toilets. If untreated, chlamydia can also spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, blood transfusions to blood bank patients, and blood from other people who have had chlamydia.

Sexually active people are at greater risk of contracting chlamydia than people who are not sexually active

A woman can pass the disease from one partner to another without any sexual contact, which cannot be said about a man.

Women who have a watery, white, or grayish vaginal discharge or a fresh odorless discharge should see a doctor immediately, as this symptom may be due to an underlying medical cause. Unusual bleeding after sex, vaginal itching or pain during intercourse, blood in the urine or vaginal discharge, and abnormal vaginal bleeding in women may indicate an underlying medical condition.

Symptoms associated with chlamydia include vaginal odor, vaginal discharge, burning or stinging sensation during urination, itching or discomfort while urinating, or pain during sexual intercourse, among others. Women with symptoms of chlamydia should visit a health care provider to get tested for the disease. A health care provider will perform a simple pelvic exam to diagnose whether or not a woman has contracted the disease. The examination will reveal whether the woman is currently pregnant or if she is sexually active and if she is planning to become pregnant.

Symptoms of chlamydia include abnormal discharge, itchiness, burning or stinging sensation during urination and during sexual intercourse, pain during sexual intercourse, bleeding after intercourse, and pelvic tenderness of the pelvis area. If left untreated, these symptoms can progress and lead to more serious symptoms that can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, or other reproductive organ damage.

Women who show symptoms of chlamydia should contact their gynecologist as soon as possible. A gynecologist can perform a pelvic exam to diagnose whether or not the woman is pregnant and can help determine if the woman needs medical treatment to prevent further complications from the disease, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.

While symptoms of chlamydia are not always serious, the disease itself can progress to more serious conditions if not treated. Untreated, it can lead to cervical cancer, which may require surgery to remove the affected area and in some cases, treatment of the cervix or the entire cervix, which can be life-threatening. Untreated chlamydia can also cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Untreated chlamydia can cause scarring and infection in the urethra, which is a major concern, and should be checked out immediately.
