Chlamydia Facts

1. A Sexually transmitted disease (STD) which is caused by the bacteria trachomatis.

2. The bacteria is transmitted in the course of making sex.

3. An estimated of 3 million Americans are infected every year.

4. In most women, they often do not feel or encounter any symptoms during the early stages of Chlamydia. When symptoms do surface, it can bring about a yellow colored vaginal discharge, pain or burning sensation during peeing, pain or discomfort when having sex, aching of the lower stomach and irregular spotting or bleeding in between menstrual cycles.

5. In most men too, symptoms often do not occur; if it does, men usually have discharges coming from their urethra or the penis' opening, or feels pain when urinating. Symptoms can differ from individuals; others experience mild symptoms while others have it severely.

6. An infected mom can transmit chlamydia on to the baby in the course of her delivery.

7. Chlamydia can be cured if is detected and early treatment is administered.

8. If untreated, in most cases of women, Chlamydia, similar to gonorrhea can develop into a severe disease known as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), resulting to infertility.

9. The bacteria can also spread or move up to the fallopian tubes causing lasting and severe pain; with this, it can scar or traumatize the fallopian tubes which may lead to ectopic pregnancy and again, infertility.

2. Women above twenty five years old having more than one sexual partner.

3. Women who engage in sex with somebody who also has other or multiple sex partners.

4. Individuals involved in a sexual activity with which their mates have different sexual partners that do not use a condom.

5. Individuals having symptoms relating to Chlamydia should immediately consult a doctor.

Lessen your chances of infection

1. Abstain from sex or practice self discipline. If you can help it, do not have oral, anal or vaginal sex; this is the best precaution you can take. Keep in mind though, that there is also a possibility of infection by way of skin-to-skin interaction.

2. Be faithful. Stick to only one sexual partner who has been tested free from Chlamydia. Talk to your partner and stress out that both of you should only have sex with one another and to no other individual; let him understand the consequences you both has to face if this is not so.

3. Seek alternatives than intercourse, such as self or mutual masturbation.

4. Choose your sexual partner well, the one who you very well know and completely trust. Somebody who would only have sex with you. "Mutual monogamy" is what this is called.

5. Communicate. Open up with your sex partner or partners about the risks of having infected with Chlamydia and the use of condoms. It really depends on you alone to get yourself protected. You can contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention if you have any questions regarding STD.

6. From the start of your sexual activity up to the end, use not just any type, but a latex condom precisely and correctly. Keep in mind, that although latex condoms could protect the vagina, penis, anus or mouth from Chlamydia they can not protect you from genital warts or other gash like herpes, when they exist on the penis' base or the male's scrotum or on the vulva of a female.

7. Talk honestly and frankly with your physician about your or your sex partner concerning any STD infection that your partner or you have or have had. Do not be ashamed, embarrassed or feel uncomfortable; your honesty could save both your lives.

8. Learn and be familiar with the symptoms of chlamydia. Do keep in mind that chlamydia usually exhibits no symptoms at all. Whenever you feel or think that you might have or that you are at risk of having Chlamydia, immediately seek professional help.
