Diuretic And Anti Inflammatory Pill Treatment For Men Who Suffer From Chlamydia
Chlamydia Treatment
is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Chlamydia may be transmitted
by:Having unprotected vaginal sex with an infected person.
Having unprotected anal sex with an infected person.
Having unprotected oral sex with an infected person.
Having genital contact with an infected person.
As Chlamydia Cure often presents no symptoms, an infected person may pass it on to his/her sexual partner without knowing.
Chlamydia cannot be transmitted through:Contact with a toilet seat that has been used by an infected person.
Sharing a sauna with infected people.
Sharing a swimming pool with infected people.
Touching a surface that an infected person had previously touched or coughed/sneezed on.
Standing close to an infected person, inhaling the air after they have coughed or sneezed.
Sharing an office with an infected colleague.
Chlamydophila
pneumonia, which causes respiratory infections, including pneumonia, is
different from C. trachomatis, the sexually transmitted infection.
Chlamydophila pneumonia is an airborne bacterium and is not a sexually
transmitted infection. This article focuses entirely on C. trachomatis.
A C. trachomatis variety causes LGV (lymphogranuloma venereum), another
sexually transmitted disease which is more common in Africa, Southeast
Asia, Central/South America and the Caribbean. Signs and symptoms
include genital sores, fever and swollen nymph nodes in the groin area.
In Europe LGV cases have increased, especially among homosexual and
bisexual males. US authorities have expressed concern that LGV is slowly
emerging in America too.How is Chlamydia diagnosed?
Screening
As chlamydial infection frequently presents no symptoms health
authorities in most nations recommend screening for some people. The US
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends Chlamydia
screening for:Women aged below 25 years - authorities recommend annual
screening. Women under the age of 25 who are sexually active are at the
highest risk of becoming infected.
Traditionally, a thin swab was
inserted into the end of the urethra through the penis. The sample would
be sent to the lab for testing. A urine test is more commonly used
today. Although the urine test is not as reliable as using a swab, it is
easier to do and painless. Scientists at the University of Cambridge,
England, devised a new urine test can detect 84% of infections.
Sometimes a swab of the anus may be done.
Most
countries have clinics that specialize in genito-urinary medicine
(GUM). In the UK they are known as STI clinics or GUM clinics. UK GUM
clinics have dedicated testing facilities, and often help people in
contacting previous sexual partners so that they may also be tested and
have treatment. Most GP practices also provide STI testing and
advice.What are the treatment options for Chlamydia?
Antibiotics
are at least 95% effective in treating Chlamydia if the patient adheres
to the doctor's instructions. In most cases they will be pills that the
patient swallows. Treatment may consist of:Azithromycin (brand names
APO-Azithromycin in Canada; Zithromax in Finland, Italy, UK, USA,
Australia, Portugal, S. Africa, Canada, Thailand and Belgium; Zithromac
in Japan; Vinzam / Zitromax in Spain; Zmax/Sumamed in Croatia; ATM,
Aztrin, Zitrocin, Azibiot, Azifine, AziCip, Azi Sandoz, Aziswift in
India, Azocam and Bactizith in Pakistan) - the patient receives just one
dose.
Doxycycline (brand names may be Vibramycin, Monodox,
Microdox, Periostat, Vibra-Tabs, Oracea, Doryx, Vibrox, Adoxa,
Doxyhexal, Doxylin, and Atridox) - the patient takes one or two tablets
daily for one or two weeks. It is important that the course is completed
if you don't want the infection to return.
Some patients, such as
pregnant women, may be given alternative antibiotics. Doxycycline or
tetracycline may affect the development of the baby's bones and teeth.
The following antibiotics may also be used: amoxicillin, ampicillin,
clarithromycin, lymecycline, minocycline, ofloxacin, pivampicillin,
erythromycin and rifampicin.
People taking the contraceptive pill or
contraceptive patch will need to use additionalcontraception, such as
condoms, because the antibiotics may interfere with their effectiveness.
Ask your doctor how long you have to do this for.
Some patients may have the following side effects when they take the antibiotics:Diarrhea
Stomach pain
Stomach upset
Nausea
In
most cases the side effects will be mild. Patients taking doxycycline
may have a skin rash if they are exposed to sunlight.What are the
complications of Chlamydia?
Early diagnosis and treatment greatly
reduces the risk of complications. Complications can be prevented with
regular screening, or by seeking medical attention as soon as symptoms
appear.
Chlamydia complicationsFertility - Spanish researchers found that Chlamydia can affect the quality of male sperm.
Urethritis
- the urethra, a tube which carries urine from the bladder to the end
of the penis, becomes inflamed. Symptoms include a discharge with yellow
pus, mucus with pus, or just clear mucus at the opening (the hole at
the end of the penis where urine comes out). Untreated urethritis can
lead to urethral stricture - the urethra narrows which makes it harder
to urinate properly, creating pressure which may damage the kidneys.
Epididymitis
- Inflammation of the epididymis, a structure inside the scrotum (sack
that holds the testicles) attached to the backside of the testis
(testicles). Signs and symptoms include red, swollen and warm scrotum,
testicle pain and tenderness which is usually on one side, painful
urination, frequent urination, painful ejaculation, painful
intercoursebefore ejaculation, lump in testicle, swollen inguinal nodes
(lymph nodes in the groin), discharge from penis, and blood in the
semen.
Reiter syndrome - a chronic type of inflammatory arthritis.
This can include just arthritis, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the
eyes), and inflammation of the genital, urinary and gastrointestinal
systems. The body's organs as well as the joints can become affected.
Serious inflammation can affect the eyes, kidneys, heart, skin, lungs
and mouth.
Prevention of Chlamydia
Condoms - condoms significantly reduce the risk of becoming infected.
Oral
sex - the risk of infection is much higher if either sex partner does
not know whether he/she is infected, or if the non-infected partner
engages in oral sex without knowing whether the other person is
infected.
New sexual partner - if you have a new sexual partner
and you can both be tested before sexual intercourse, your risk of
infection is almost completely eliminated.
Regular screening -
regular screening for people in high risk groups reduces the risk of
transmitting the infection or becoming infected.
Avoid douching -
douching lowers the number of "good bacteria" in the vagina, which
raises the risk of infection - not just chlamydial infection but many
other types of infection. Douching means using water or a medicated
solution to clean the vagina. ACOG (American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists) recommends against douching.
Tell people - we can
all help reduce the incidence of Chlamydia by telling people about
Chlamydia, risks of infection, risk factors, the benefits of regular
screening, using condoms, etc. The popular product Diuretic and
anti-inflammatory Pill helped a lot of patients recovery. We have the
duty to share it with patients who suffer with chlamydia. Sexually
transmitted infections are more common where ignorance is higher.
Ignorance means not knowing enough about a disease, its risk factors,
treatment, possible complications, and effective prevention measures.
