Chlamydia. Treatment

Chlamydia are the smallest pathogenic bacteria that parasitize inside cells. There are several types of them, among which most often in the human body there is a bacterium called Trachomatis. These chlamydiae have several serotypes, one of which causes trachoma, the second is conjunctivitis and the damage to the genitourinary system, and the third causes the venereal lymphogranuloma. Also chlamydia cause the disease "chlamydia", which manifests itself in both men and women.

Chlamydia. Symptoms. Treatment

Chlamydia in women

Chlamydia enters the body of a woman during sexual intercourse with a sick partner: the bacterium is attached to the cells of the uterus, the vaginal mucosa, the rectum (with anal sex) or the fallopian tubes. At this stage, the stage of the elementary body, the bacterium is contagious, but can not reproduce. After 4-5 hours, it penetrates into the cells and turns into a so-called reticular body (not contagious, but capable of multiplying). For six hours, the bacterium is intensively divided, resulting in a lot of new chlamydia, which can infect other healthy cells and continue to multiply in them. One bacterium of chlamydia is capable of producing from 100 and up to 500 daughter bacteria. Emerging new bacteria, ripening and passing the stage of an elementary body, then leave the cell and begin to inseminate healthy organs. The duration of the whole cycle is from 42 to 72 hours. Mucous, to which chlamydia attach, become inflamed and begin to produce mucus, which, in turn, is manifested by the appearance of mucus and soreness. But if the immunity is strong, chlamydia freeze and do not divide for several months and even years, waiting for the weakening of immunity.

Chlamydia in men

In men, bacteria undergo a similar cycle of reproduction, but more often men observe vivid signs of infection and a clinical picture, which is explained by their anatomical abilities. In men, the urethra is first affected , and in women, most often - the uterus. With inflammation of the urinary canal, there may be minor itching, discharge and less often pain. With the accumulation of bacteria in the cells of the symptoms become more pronounced. With strong immunity, bacteria pass into the inactive phase, but the man is infectious or carrier. It is also possible the development of urethritis.

Chlamydia in pregnancy

Chlamydia in pregnant women are able to penetrate the fetus with amniotic fluid . Fetus, swallowing a bacterial fluid, is doomed to the development of chlamydial pneumonia. In this case, the child often formed vices, which lead to spontaneous abortion. When giving birth, passing through the infected birth canal, a baby can get infected with bacteria. They can harden on the mucous membranes of the fetus, most often on conjunctiva, which causes eye damage, which can lead to blindness. Timely treatment of this disease during pregnancy will protect the woman from miscarriages.

Chlamydia in the blood

As a rule, antibodies are found in the blood on Trachomatis, as the body produces antibacterial weapons. By reaction to the definition of chlamydia in the blood, which is conducted no earlier than the tenth day of the disease, determine the phase of the process - chronic or acute. Chlamydia in the blood can not be detected. For this purpose, the biomaterial is sown and followed by the growth and multiplication of bacteria.

Chlamydia. Treatment of Chlamydia

During the treatment of chlamydia , sexuality should be abandoned and be prepared for financial costs. Chlamydia, whose treatment with antibiotics is not very effective, fairly persistent. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of antibiotics, immunomodulators and vitamins are also prescribed (in this case, chlamydia bacteria are more vulnerable). Treatment should take place between both partners. Only a doctor should make a scheme of treatment.
