About service
In the absence of timely treatment, the infection may cause inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. Therefore, treatment should be initiated as early as possible.
Symptoms
Once in the body, the bacterium usually remains asymptomatic at the initial stage. The incubation period lasts from 1 to 4 weeks. At first, Chlamydia penetrates the epithelial cells and then begins to multiply actively.
Symptoms of chlamydiosis include:
• pain and burning during urination,
• lower abdominal pain in women, scrotal pain in men,
• discomfort during sexual intercourse,
• genital discharge (which may be purulent or watery and have an unpleasant odor),
• slight fever,
• hematuria (bloody discharge during urination),
• rash on the glans penis,
• itching and burning in the anal area.
In some cases, Chlamydia may also affect other sites beyond the urogenital system:
• Eyes: pain, redness, and conjunctivitis,
• Joints: chlamydial arthritis.
There are also clinical cases where a person presents with all the symptoms — general, ophthalmic, and articular. This condition is known as Reiter’s syndrome (Reiter’s triad).
Diagnosis
Every year, between 1.5 and 2 million people in Russia are diagnosed with chlamydiosis. The disease is often detected in pregnant women or in patients consulting gynecologists or urologists for inflammatory conditions of the urogenital tract. In about one-quarter of cases, the infection is found in patients with cervical erosion.
Diagnosis of chlamydiosis can be performed using several methods:
• Smear test (from the urethra in men, from the vagina in women),
• PCR test (polymerase chain reaction): a highly sensitive and specific method that detects the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis in tissue samples and biological secretions. This method provides rapid results and can detect even low levels of bacteria. Chlamydial DNA is identified in biological fluids such as urine and genital discharge,
• First-morning urine analysis in men,
• Serological tests: diagnostic methods that determine the presence of antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis in the blood. These tests can be used both for initial diagnosis and for monitoring treatment effectiveness.
A final diagnosis is made based on the results of all conducted examinations.
Treatment Methods
Treatment of chlamydiosis usually includes the use of antibiotics. It should be noted that the infection may affect other organs and systems; therefore, treatment is always individualized.
In addition to antibiotics, the following therapeutic measures may be used:
• Antiviral agents and immunomodulators to enhance the body’s defense mechanisms,
• Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce and alleviate symptoms,
• Antifungal medications,
• Vitamins and enzymes,
• Bacteriophages and probiotics.
It is also essential to abstain from sexual intercourse during treatment to avoid reinfection and worsening of symptoms.
Treatment of chlamydiosis must be carried out under the supervision of a qualified physician, who will select the most effective medication and dosage and monitor the patient’s recovery process.
Complications of Chlamydiosis
Chlamydiosis can cause various complications, particularly in women. Among them:
• Chronic pelvic peritonitis (impaired protective function of the pelvic peritoneum due to chlamydial infection),
• Ocular involvement (conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis),
• Respiratory diseases (bronchitis, pneumonia),
• Meningitis (inflammation of the meninges),
• Reproductive complications: menstrual disorders, inflammation of the adnexa. Chlamydiosis also promotes adhesion formation in the pelvic region, leading to fallopian tube obstruction and, consequently, infertility.
In pregnant women, there is an increased risk of spontaneous miscarriage, premature birth, and rupture of the amniotic membranes.
Prevention
The likelihood of infection during unprotected sexual contact with a carrier exceeds 50%. A weakened immune system also significantly contributes to infection susceptibility.
Preventive measures include:
• Use of barrier contraception,
• Minimization of sexual contacts (it is good practice to ask a partner to undergo STI testing),
• Annual visits to a gynecologist or urologist for screening,
• Maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
