Chlamydia, often misspelt as clamidia / clamydia, is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection. Unfortunately, many people do not know enough STD facts to help prevent themselves from contracting infections such as chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia).
Chlamydia can affect anyone who is sexually active, as it can be spread through any kind of sexual act. Consequently, it is the most pervasive STD in Great Britain, and many sufferers are unaware that they been infected by it.
Symptoms include: a burning sensation when urinating, pain in the lower back and abdomen and discharge from the penis or vagina.
Chalamydia can, in the long term, cause serious fetility problems if undiagnosed, as well as affecting the health of the sufferer.
There is also an increased risk among females of catching HIV if you have contracted chlamydia.
If you think you have contracted chlamydia, which is sometimes wrongly spelt as clamidia or clamydia, you can go to your doctor for a simple swab test or urine sample which will be sent away and tested for infection with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia). Your doctor can also provide you with STD facts to help you prevent any other infections contracted through sexual activity.
If you are found to have contracted chlamydia, doctors will prescribe a course of antibiotics. Your doctor will also advise that you let any previous partners know that you are having treatment for chlamydia, so that they can also get tested for it. Like other sexually transmitted infections, chlamydia is far quicker and simpler to treat if detected early.
The way to prevent and protect yourself from chlamydia (as well as other STI's) is to ensure that a condom is used during sexual intercourse. It is also important to use any information on STD facts available to you, and to follow the aforementioned steps if you do contract chlamydia. - 15343
