Health and STDs: How Clamydia can cause infertility

Chlamydia is a one of the most common STDs in America. It can be easily transmitted via contact with another person's fluid. Chlamydia is curable and that's the good news. The disease will cause infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease if

untreated. It could also cause potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy outside of the uterus. You should get a screening every six months or when you have a new partner. You should also get testing if you feel weird discharge or pain at your abdomen. In men the infection will cause epididymis which is the tube that carries sperm from the testis. It will cause pain, fever, and sometimes sterility.

A fetus will come out with pink eye to mother who have Chlamydia. They will also have respiratory problems. Premature delivery is also a possibility. The test will be taking with urine or vaginal discharge. The good news is that Chlamydia has a cure with antibiotics. You just need to get it. The antibiotic is azithromycin and you can get cure with just a single dose or a week of doxycycline two times a day is the more common prescription. Women are encouraged to retest every three to four months after treatment. In order to prevent it you just need to protect yourself and stay with one partner. You should refrain from activity until you're treated.

Chlamydia is easily transmitted with bodily fluid. Chlamydia is a silent disease and you won't be able to detect it until several weeks later. Usually you will see abnormal discharges and pain upon urination or abdominal pain. If it's left untreated you can end up not being able to have children and ruin your reproductive organ. Chlamydia can be cure with a single dose of azithromycin.
