klamüüdiate

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is one of the most common STIs worldwide. Chlamydia can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat. Many people infected with chlamydia have no symptoms, which makes it easily spread without knowledge. When symptoms do occur, they can appear one to three weeks after exposure. In women, common symptoms include vaginal discharge, pain during urination, and bleeding between periods. In men, symptoms can include penile discharge, pain during urination, and pain in the testicles. Rectal infections can cause discharge, pain, and bleeding from the anus. Chlamydial infections can be diagnosed through urine tests or by swabbing infected areas. Fortunately, chlamydia is curable with antibiotics. However, untreated chlamydia can lead to serious health problems, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility and ectopic pregnancy. In men, it can cause inflammation of the epididymis, which can also lead to infertility. Prevention methods include using condoms consistently and correctly during sexual activity and getting regular STI testing, especially if you have new or multiple sexual partners.
