Chlamydia What is chlamydia? Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a microorganism called Chlamydia trachomatis. “chlamydia” - venereal infectious chlamydia Urogenital chlamydia presentation
Key Facts
Chlamydia is a venereal disease, most often acquired. Compared to many other infectious diseases, it has a non-obvious clinical picture and is often discovered by chance. The following photos will introduce you closer to chlamydia.
More about the main thing
The causative agent of the disease is chlamydia microorganisms. There are different types of chlamydia. Each has a different cellular structure and favorite site of injury. So, if some of them contribute to obtaining photos of chlamydia in the eyes, others are limited to the urogenital area.
Chlamydia in the photo
Alas, most often the infection and course of chlamydia go unnoticed by the infected person. You almost never see photos with characteristic manifestations on the skin. Very rarely, the patient experiences any other symptoms that directly indicate the disease.
Routes of infection
All symptoms of chlamydia occur due to sexual contact with an infected person. In children, infection occurs during birth when an infected mother passes through the birth canal.
Chance of getting sick
The chances of becoming infected through unprotected contact with someone with chlamydia are 50/50. Transmission of infection from mother to child during childbirth is recorded in almost 100% of cases. Photos of some symptoms of the disease are shown above.
More about the pathogen
Above in the photo is discharge from chlamydia. You should expect similar symptoms after 1-3 weeks.
Features of primary symptoms
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW!
Even if a photo of chlamydia shows a clear rash, very soon the symptoms disappear on their own. The patient takes this as signs of recovery, but in vain. The disappearance of symptoms only indicates that the disease is lurking.
Dangers for the patient
Meanwhile, photos of chlamydia in the mouth clearly warn of a serious danger. An untreated disease is fraught with many complications, including dysfunction of internal organs.
Example of complications
Treatment is necessary, among other things, because the disease can provoke impotence in men and the appearance of adhesions on the ovaries in women, which can lead to infertility. An example of complications in the female reproductive system is shown in the photo of chlamydia above.
Main symptoms
If there are symptoms of the disease, they are often so mild that only the most attentive patients notice them. The most typical signs of chlamydia include a change in the nature of discharge in women and the appearance of such in men. Rashes are much less common in photographs of patients.
Additional symptoms
Additional signs in the photo are signs of already developed secondary diseases: urethritis, prostatitis, colpitis, cervicitis, etc. It is much easier to diagnose chlamydia of the throat - something is obviously wrong in this case.
Diagnostic methods
Regardless of what form of chlamydia is shown in the photo - on the tongue or in the genitourinary area, diagnosis is based on ELISA and PCR methods.
Treatment
The photo suggests that antibiotics will help get rid of the symptoms of chlamydia in the mouth or anywhere else. Without their participation, it is impossible to achieve results in treatment.
Prevention
The surest way to avoid getting to know chlamydia closer than in pictures is to refuse casual sex and use condoms.

Abstract: Chlamydia
Chlamydia, a disease of the genitourinary organs caused by chlamydia - intracellular bacteria. Outside the human body, chlamydia dies within 1 minute at 90 - 100 °C, after 5 minutes at 70 °C (at 18 °C and below, cotton fabric remains infective for up to 2 days), as well as when exposed to disinfectants. It is transmitted sexually, less commonly through household contact (through toilet items, underwear, contaminated hands). Diagnosed in 30 - 60% of women and up to 50% of men suffering from non-gonococcal inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary tract. In recent decades, there has been an increase in chlamydial infection: in a number of countries, for every one patient with gonorrhea, there are 2 to 5 patients with chlamydia. Sources of infection are usually men and women with manifest and clinically asymptomatic forms of chlamydial infection. Chlamydia is often combined with trichomoniasis, gonorrhea and other bacterial infections.
Chlamydia of the genitourinary organs affects only humans. Known laboratory animals (mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits) are not susceptible to this infection when infected by various methods. Only in some monkeys (baboons, macaques, African green monkeys) it is possible to cause short-term urethritis when chlamydia isolated from sick people is introduced into the urethra. The incubation period lasts from 5 - 7 to 20 - 30 days. In men, the urethra is primarily affected (see Fig.), and in the absence of treatment, other organs of the genitourinary tract (prostate, Cooper's, paraurethral glands, seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles). In infected women, the cervical canal is more often affected, less often the primary urethra, many patients develop an ascending infection, which affects the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the peritoneum may also become inflamed. From the urethra, chlamydia can penetrate into the bladder, causing cystourethritis. In women and homosexuals (see Homosexuality), chlamydial proctitis is sometimes diagnosed, often occurring with few or asymptomatic symptoms.
Clinical manifestations of genitourinary chlamydia are very diverse. There are acute, subacute, chronic and latent courses. In the acute form, patients exhibit hyperemia of the mucous membranes of the urethra, cervix, sometimes an increased urge to urinate, mucopurulent discharge from the urethra, and vagina. In the subacute and chronic course of the disease, these symptoms in men and women are less pronounced; purulent mucous discharge is observed only in the morning. With a latent form, patients usually do not complain, and chlamydia is found in the discharge from the genitourinary organs.
In men, chlamydial urethritis can be complicated by orchiepidymitis (in 56% of patients), prostatitis (in 46%), vesiculitis (in 17%), less commonly, paraurethritis or cooperitis. The clinical picture of these complications resembles gonorrheal infection. In women, chlamydial infection of the urethra, Bartholin's glands, and vagina is asymptomatic, as is inflammation of the uterus. Only some patients have complaints of heaviness in the lower abdomen and pain in the lumbar region, especially during menstruation. Damage to the upper parts of the female reproductive system clinically occurs in the same way as similar lesions of other etiologies.
In some patients, chlamydia occurs in a severe form, and along with damage to the genitourinary tract, specific changes in the joints, conjunctiva of the eyes, and sometimes the skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity are observed. There are severe chlamydia lesions of internal organs: myocarditis, focal glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, neuritis of peripheral nerves, etc. Chlamydia is often the cause of infertility in both men and women. In women, the disease negatively affects the course of pregnancy and can be transmitted to newborns.
Treatment is carried out as prescribed and under the supervision of a doctor and lasts 3 weeks or more. A general mandatory condition for successful treatment is the simultaneous treatment of both spouses or sexual partners, even in cases where chlamydia is not detected in one of them. During the period of treatment and subsequent control, sexual activity is prohibited. For treatment, antibiotics are used in combination with nonspecific agents and physiotherapeutic procedures. Treatment is always individual, taking into account the stage of the inflammatory process and the topical diagnosis, that is, depending on which organ is affected and to what extent. A patient with chlamydia is considered cured if, after completion of treatment, no chlamydia is detected in laboratory tests within 1 to 2 months. The prognosis with modern and adequate treatment is favorable. Prevention consists mainly of avoiding casual sexual intercourse, observing the rules of personal hygiene, including genital hygiene, and timely identification and treatment of patients with chlamydia and chlamydia carriers.

What is chlamydia? Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a microorganism called Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia most often affects the genitourinary system (in women the uterus, in men the urethra), but it can also affect other organs, such as eyes, joints, etc.
How common is chlamydia? Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. Chlamydia affects 30% to 60% of women and up to 50% of men. Chlamydia is most often detected in young sexually active women (years old). In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the frequency of detection of this infection, which, in part, may be due to improved diagnostic methods.
What are the manifestations of chlamydia? in women: - cramping pain in the lower abdomen, - an increase in the amount of bloody discharge and increased pain during menstruation, - the appearance of bloody or other discharge different from normal between periods or during sexual intercourse, - pain or discomfort when urinating, - pain during sexual intercourse or after it.
What are the possible complications of chlamydia? Infertility. Chlamydial infection contributes to the formation of scars and/or other damage to the fallopian tubes (through which the egg moves to the uterus and fertilization occurs there), regardless of the severity of its manifestations. In men, infertility is the result of chlamydial infection of the testicles. Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (chlamydial infection is the cause in 40% of cases). In this case, the fetus is located and grows in the fallopian tube itself, which ultimately can lead to its rupture. Long-lasting pain, including during sexual intercourse (about 20% of cases). Increased risk of complicated pregnancy (miscarriage, premature labor, stillbirth). Development of Reiter's syndrome (inflammation of the urethra, joints and eyes).
What are the possible complications of chlamydia? In most cases, with timely diagnosis and completion of the full course of treatment, complications do not develop. However, with an asymptomatic course of the infection or a complete absence of manifestations, quite a long time may pass from the moment of infection to its detection and treatment, which increases the risk of developing complications in the future
How to identify chlamydia? If chlamydia is suspected, the discharge from the cervical canal and urethra, as well as urine, is collected and examined to identify chlamydia, fragments of their cells or protective proteins of the human body. If chlamydia is detected, it is recommended to undergo testing to identify other sexually transmitted infections.
Why is it necessary to undergo treatment if there are no signs of infection? Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection and is subject to mandatory treatment because: the infection can spread in the body and lead to the development of severe complications months/years after infection; an infected person is contagious, regardless of whether the infection manifests itself or not.
How is chlamydia treated? Chlamydia is highly treatable. The duration and success of treatment depend on the timing of its initiation. Short courses of antibacterial drugs are used to treat the infection. Treatment of chlamydia must be carried out by a doctor. Do not try to treat chlamydia at home yourself; this may suppress rather than cure the infection. To be sure of a cure, you must undergo a full course of treatment and subsequent examinations with a doctor, preferably at the same time as your partner. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, as this information may affect the choice of drug.
How to prevent chlamydia infection? The most effective way to prevent infection is to abstain from sexual intercourse. Be faithful to your partner. A relationship in which both partners are healthy and have relationships only with each other is relatively safe from the point of view of contracting sexually transmitted infections. Use protection every time you have intimate contact. Remember that using a contraceptive does not provide 100% protection against infection, but only reduces its risk. Remember that the use of oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, etc. does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Avoid using drugs and excessive amounts of alcohol. Get tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections. The earlier an infection is detected, the easier it is to treat. Be open with your doctor and sexual partner(s) if you or your partner have contracted a sexually transmitted infection. If you are pregnant, be sure to get examined by a doctor. Treating the genitals with disinfectants (gibitan, cidipal, miramistin, betadine) during the first 2 hours after sexual intercourse can reduce the risk of infection. Remember that these products are not intended for regular use, as their long-term use has a harmful effect on the mucous membranes.

Description of the presentation “CHLAMYDIOSIS” - Infectious venereal Chlamydia, based on slides
According to statistics, 100 million people worldwide fall ill with chlamydia every year, and the number of people infected with chlamydia around the globe, according to the most conservative estimates, reaches one billion.
Routes of transmission of chlamydia. Sexually This method is the most popular. , and widespread. In addition to the traditional vaginal route, the route of infection with chlamydia is precisely proven through anal and - . oral genital sexual intercourse Therefore () unprotected sex without a condom is very dangerous. Infection through a kiss after oral sex (). the infection is transmitted instantly. The vertical route of transmission of infection. This is another common method of infection that involves transmission of infection from mother to child. time of birth Intrauterine infection of the fetus has not yet been scientifically proven; on the topic of transplacental infection, there are currently quite controversial discussions. — . Through household contact
Symptoms of chlamydia In men In women, mild inflammation of the urethra of a protracted () chronic course - urethritis that lasts for at least several months scanty glassy discharge from the urethra, pain can be in the urethra, the canal in the scrotum in, lower back in the testicles discharge from the vagina mucous - or mucous purulent pain in the external and internal genital organs, itching and burning - pain in the lower abdomen, pelvic area, increased pain before menstruation, general weakness and - mild fever symptoms. intoxication
