How Chlamydia Can Be Treated

Chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, which is also known as the "silent infection", includes the relevant antibiotic medicines for treatment. Although Penicillin is not recommended to fight these organisms, certain antibiotics such as doxycycline that is taken twice a day for up to 7 days, the same with tetracyclines, or azithromycin, which is taken only once, help treat the bacteria that's causing the infection, thus, avoiding other complications. The dosage will be given depending on the severity of the infection. Pregnant women could also be treated without posing any harm on the baby inside the womb, except taking doxycycline. It is advised that pregnant women take either the amoxicillin or erythromycin for a whole week. The same dosage of a single dosage of azithromycin for non-pregnant is also prescribed to those who are pregnant. It is very important to take the prescribed dosage for the number of days, even when all the symptoms have disappeared to avoid re-occurrence.

In most cases antibiotic given at the early stage of the infection are successful enough to avoid any other complications for untreated infection caused by Chlamydia would turn to PID-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease up to and including infertility.

Partners who were diagnosed should be given the proper medication and treatment to avoid passing the bacteria to and from each other. Since there is no immunization available and person could not be immune, the infection could develop repeatedly. After proper treatment has been administered, there should be a scheduled re-evaluation after four weeks to make sure that the infection has been wiped out of the system. It is very important not to pursue with any sexual intercourse unless the whole treatment has been administered and the doctor has a clear diagnosis of the said bacterial infection. If this is not followed, sex partners will just end up passing the infection to each other until such time that the bacteria has reached the upper layer of the uterus for women or Urinary Tract Infection in men.

Since the effectiveness of tetracyclines, azithromycin, and doxycycline are already proven, retesting are not done anymore unless the same symptoms appear and another infection is possibly attacking the person being treated. One way that other clinics are trying to prevent this from happening is providing therapy to the patient's partner by extending a single dose of azithromycin to the partner as well. Although this raised a lot of questions, this has become one of the most convenient and effective way to treat males or females that do not seek any kind of treatment even after suspecting they have Chlamydia.

As a precaution, treatment should be considered to a partner's partner or partners that had intercourse sixty days before even feeling any symptoms of Chlamydia infection. Once the diagnosis is made, medication should be given immediately to lessen the risk of a probable long-term complication of PID. There is no harm in taking the prescribed antibiotics for as long as these are taken as advised. Ninety-five per cent of people who take the right medication will be healed without re-occurring unless unprotected sex is practiced again. As a general rule, all sexual partners should be treated as soon as possible, practice protected or safe sex, and be loyal to any partner to avoid any chance of being infected by the said bacteria.
