Chlamydia
Cause: Chlamydia Trachomatis
(Bacteria)
How transmitted: Direct contact
with infected sexual fluids during genital, oral or
anal sex.
Symptoms: Many males and most
females have no symptoms. May have burning on
urination, discharge, abdominal pain, pain during
sex, or females may bleed during or after sex.
Symptoms begin 1-3 weeks or longer after
contact
Diagnostic tests: Swab of urethra
in males or cervix in females.
Treatment: Antibiotics
Complications Can cause Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease (PID) in females which is a
serious infection of the reproductive organs that
can lead to sterility. It can also cause eye
infections or pneumonia in infant during birth.
What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a serious infection that is spread by
having sex with an infected person. It is much more
common than gonorrhea.
What are the symptoms?
Both men and women may not have any symptoms at all.
Some females may have a vaginal discharge,lower
abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding in the
middle of a menstrual cycle or after intercourse or
pain deep inside during intercourse (sex). As many as
80% of infected females have no symptoms when they
have Chlamydia.
What can it do to me?
Untreated Chlamydia in women can cause "Pelvic
inflammatory Disease" (PID), a very serious
infection of the reproductive organs (uterus and
fallopian tubes). This can lead to sterility (the
inability to have children) as well as other very
serious complications. These complications can be
prevented by early diagnosis and treatment.
Men rarely become sterile from Chlamydia, but they
can have some very painful complications such as
swelling of the testicles and arthritis of the
joints.
Could I give it to others?
Yes, but only to your sex partners. You are
infectious (capable of giving the disease) from the
moment you pick it up. Most females however do not
have early symptoms so it is difficult to know if or
when you have given it to others.
It is important that partners be informed of the
possibility of infection and treated as soon as
possible. If you do not feel comfortable telling your
sex partners, a public health nurse will help to
locate them for you.
How is it treated?
Chlamydia is treated with certain types of
antibiotics. Penicillin will not cure Chlamydia. It
is important to follow the instructions given with
your medication. The disease will not be cured until
all the pills have been taken as prescribed.
Does the treatment work?
Generally, yes. The only way to be sure is to have
another test (called a test of cure) after the
treatment has been completed. Females should have
another test done one (1) month after finishing the
medication, preferably after her next period. Males
should also be retested in one (1) month.
When can I have sex again?
After your test has shown you are free of disease.
It is very important to avoid sex while taking the
medication. You may have sex again only when your
test of cure is negative and your partner(s) are free
of infection.
How can I avoid getting Chlamydia?
The only way to avoid Chlamydia is by not having sex
at all. If you are having sex, make sure a latex
condom is used every time.
Also, be certain your partners have been notified of
the infection so they too can be treated.
Genesis 1:29 "And God said,
'Behold I have given every herb-bearing seed which is
upon the face of all the earth and every tree, in
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it
shall be for meat'."
