Extractions: Chlamydia: The Silent Epidemic by Tracee Cornforth What is chlamydia? A bacterium called chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia which is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States today. Approximately four million new cases of this disease occur each year and up to forty percent of women infected with this disease may be unaware of its existence. Why is chlamydia called a silent epidemic? Many times this STD causes no symptoms and it may linger months or years before being discovered unless screening tests are routinely performed by physicians. Recommendations for screening for this disease include bi-annual screening for all sexually active women under twenty-five, as well as for older women with multiple sex partners. What are the symptoms of chlamydia?

Extractions: Pubic Lice, Crabs Chlamydia Chlamydia is the No. 1 sexually transmitted disease in the US. Chlamydia is known as the "silent epidemic" because most of the women and many men with the disease have no symptoms. Symptoms Possible symptoms include discharge from the penis or vagina and some burning sensations during urination. Additional symptoms for women include lower abdominal pain or pain during intercourse and bleeding between menstrual periods. Men may experience burning and itching around the opening of the penis and pain or swelling in the testicles. The males are more likely to have symptoms, than women. Men may also have a discharge from the penis. Some men think they have gonorrhea, but it is not. The incubation period for chlamydia is longer and the discharge is lighter in color. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can be caused by chlamydia, is a cause of infertility when left untreated. Treatment There is treatment for chlamydia with antibiotics. A single dose of azithromycin or a week long treatment with doxycycline taken twice daily are the most common treatments.

Extractions: A swab is taken at the clinic. The infection is easily treated by a course of antibiotics (tetracycline or erythromycin). The tablets may take a long time to work and it is vital that all the tablets are taken. The infection can get into the eyes so hands must be washed thoroughly after touching the genital area.

Extractions: Occasionally a more complicated infection occurs in males when chlamydia infects the epididymis (a tube at the top of the testicle) causing epididymitis (which leads to pain and swelling in the scrotum on the side affected). In females the infection can spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries leading to pelvic inflammatory disease (which typically causes lower abdominal pain, a fever and a discharge) and this can affect a womans fertility if left untreated.

Extractions: How is chlamydia diagnosed? ... Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis ). An estimated 3 million Americans get chlamydia each year. Three of every four reported cases occur in young people under age 25. By age 30, 50 percent of sexually active women probably have had chlamydia. Chlamydia is a serious disease that can damage a woman's reproductive organs - the uterus (womb), ovaries (organs that make eggs), and fallopian tubes (tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus). The disease often has only mild or no symptoms. When diagnosed, chlamydia can be easily treated and cured with antibiotic drugs. Sexually active women and men can get chlamydia through sexual contact with an infected person. This STD can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Because there are often no symptoms, people who are infected may unknowingly pass the bacteria to their sex partners. Chlamydia can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. Babies born to infected mothers can get chlamydial infections in their eyes and respiratory tracts. The more sex partners a person has, the greater the risk of getting infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia often occurs together with

Extractions: What is chlamydia and how is it passed on? Chlamydia is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and is easily transmitted. It usually infects the genitals of both men and women, but can also infect the throat, rectum and eyes. Over 2/3 of women and half of men who have chlamydia have no symptoms at all . Symptoms can include unusual discharge from the vagina or penis and pain on passing urine. It's particularly common in young people, but can affect anyone who is sexually active. Chlamydia can cause serious health problems if left untreated. The good news is it's easily treated with a course of antibiotics from a GP or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. Chlamydia is mainly passed from one person to another through sexual activity such as: vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner oral sex, but this is less common

Extractions: La Chlamydia trachomatis es un agente infeccioso que causa frecuentemente enfermedades en el aparato genital tanto del hombre como de la mujer. Esta bacteria se transmite por vía sexual. También una mujer embarazada puede transmitir la infección durante el parto y producir, como consecuencia de la misma, conjuntivitis o neumonía en el recién nacido. La infección por Chlamydia trachomatis es la causa más frecuente de enfermedad de transmisión sexual producida por bacterias. Afecta a ambos sexos por igual. Los adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, aquellos que practican sexo no protegido con desconocidos o tienen múltiples parejas tienen mayor riesgo de adquirir la infección. En la mujer, la infección comienza en el cuello del útero (cervicitis mucopurulenta) y no produce síntomas en el 75% de los casos. En el 25% restante, puede haber flujo genital, dolor abdominal o pelviano, sangrado y/o ardor al orinar. En el hombre, la manifestación más frecuente es la uretritis. El 30% al 50% no tiene síntomas. En el resto de los casos, hay secreción uretral moderada de aspecto mucoso o purulento, con o sin ardor al orinar, que debe diferenciarse de otras causas infecciosas y no infecciosas de secreción, principalmente la producida por el gonococo. Dado el alto porcentaje de pacientes sin síntomas, sumado al elevado riesgo de complicaciones durante la edad reproductiva por la falta de tratamiento, es aconsejable que toda persona asintomática considerada en riesgo de adquirir la infección se realice un examen anual.

Extractions: CHLAMYDIA Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today, affecting more than 13 million men and women annually. Among the more than 20 STDs that have now been identified, chlamydia is the most frequently reported, with an estimated 4 million new cases each year. In Illinois, there were 32,870 cases of chlamydia reported in 1999. Most of these cases74 percentoccurred among persons 15- to 24-years-old. What is chlamydia? Chlamydial infections are caused by a bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis , and are transmitted during vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases estimates that the cost of chlamydial infections and subsequent complications exceeds $2 billion annually. What are the symptoms? If symptoms appear at all, it is usually one to four weeks after exposure. Women report vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods, abdominal pain that is sometimes accompanied by fever and nausea, and burning or pain during urination. Men with the infection report burning or pain during urination and a discharge from the penis. About half of infected women and about one-quarter of infected men, however, may have no symptoms at all. This is one reason chlamydia is dangerous: Asymptomatic individuals do not seek treatment and therefore can pass the infection on to others. Untreated individuals also can develop complications from the infection.

Extractions: warning - very graphic What is Chlamydia Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis . Because approximately 75% of women and 50% of men have no symptoms, most people infected with Chlamydia are not aware of their infections and therefore may not seek health care. When diagnosed, Chlamydia can be easily treated and cured. Untreated, Chlamydia can cause severe, costly reproductive and other health problems which include both short- and long-term consequences, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which is the critical link to infertility, and potentially fatal tubal pregnancy. Up to 40% of women with untreated Chlamydia will develop PID. Undiagnosed PID caused by Chlamydia is common. Of those with PID, 20% will become infertile; 18% will experience debilitating, chronic pelvic pain; and 9% will have a life-threatening tubal pregnancy. Tubal pregnancy is the leading cause of first-trimester, pregnancy-related deaths in American women.

It is caused by a bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis It is an infection of the reproductive and/or urinary tracts (and sometimes of the throat or rectum). It is possible to have other infections, such as gonorrhea , along with it. Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics. How is it spread? Chlamydia is spread by having unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex with an infected person. A person remains infectious until they have finished their treatment, regardless of whether or not they have symptoms. What are the symptoms? Most women (80%) and many men (50%) have chlamydia without any symptoms, therefore they can pass the infection without knowing it. Women with symptoms could have unusual vaginal discharge, unusual odour, itching, bleeding with sexual intercourse, painful sexual intercourse, lower abdominal pain, heavier menstrual periods and/or pain/burning with urination. Men with symptoms might notice a discharge from their penis, burning or itching around the opening of the penis, urination that is painful/burning and/or inflammation of the testicles.
