Like gonorrhea, chlamydia infections primarily affect the urethra in men and the cervix in women. It is a sexually-transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis.
Over the years, reported cases of chlamydia (particularly among 15 to 25 year olds) have been on the increase. Chlamydia is considered one of the most common STDs and is recognized as a major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease which can cause infertility.
Chlamydia infection is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis which can only live inside cells, therefore a bodily exchange of infected fluids is necessary for transmission. It is the most common sexually-transmitted disease in the United States. Individuals who are sexually active or with multiple partners are at highest risk.
For men infected with chlamydia, they will usually experience burning sensation during urination, discharge from the penis, testicular tenderness or pain rectal discharge. But up to 25% of infected men may have no symptoms.
The symptoms of PID caused by gonorrhea are more severe than those caused by chlamydia, hence diagnosis may be difficult. If chlamydia is not detected and treated there may be serious complications. Infection of the appendix, heart and liver may result from advanced chlamydia. Furthermore, men risk an infection of the epididymis which may cause infertility.
There is no significant immunity following the infection and a person may become repeatedly infected. Chlamydia is very treatable with a range of antibiotics which includes tetracyclines, azithromycin or erythromycin.
